Case ReportsSudden loss of vision following bilateral closed femoral nailing: a case of Purtscher's retinopathy.
Non-ocular causes of loss of vision following polytrauma have been rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of Purtscher's retinopathy in a 20-year-old male patient who had bilateral femur fracture. His vision became normal at 8 weeks follow-up without any intervention.
