Purtscher-like retinopathy (PLR) is a rare entity related with retinal ischemia due to endothelial dysfunction and embolization. We present a case of a 17-year-old patient who presented thrombotic microangiopathy. Visual acuity was finger counting at 1 meter in both eyes. Fundoscopy demonstrated peripapillary cotton-wool spots and hypopigmentation in the middle peripheral retina. Both eyes showed signs of macular edema with intreatments and panretinal photocoagulation, the resolved.
