Introduction: Putscher-like retinopathy is a retinal disease that is similar to the syndrome initially described in 1910 by Purtscher, but occurring in a non-traumatic context.
Case Report: We describe a case of acute, Putscher-like retinopathy in a 48-year-old woman experiencing adult onset Still's disease. The diagnosis was based on fundus examination and fluorescein angiography. Based on a review of the literature, we discuss the current available data on the pathophysiology of this syndrome and its prognostic significance. The treatment remains controversial.
Conclusion: When visual functional signs appear during adult Still's disease, it is necessary to evoke Putscher-like retinopathy, and to ask for an ophthalmological expertise.
