RESUMEN
We report the case of a 20-year-old patient who presented a paracentral scotoma in her left eye that had not disappeared after a migraine attack two days before. Ocular examination showed two pale paracentral areas suggesting an acute ischemia insult. Several causes of retinal ischemia were ruled out and the patient was diagnosed with secondary retinal vasospasm. One year later, the patient suffers an atrophy of the inner layers of the affected retina and has a paracentral chronic scotoma in her left eye. Retinal vasospasms can result in irreversible lesions and chronic symptoms due to ischemia and cell destruction. This unusual case reports a permanent damage due to retinal vasospasm secondary to migraine attack. The finding of typical lesions and the history of migraine could be compatible with the diagnosis of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM).
