La maculopathie médiane paracentrale aiguë est une lésion de la couche nucléaire interne et de la couche plexiforme externe de la macula associée aux maladies vasculaires locales ou systémiques pouvant induire une hypoxie rétinienne. Le mécanisme d’apparition peut être lié à l’augmentation de la pression intraoculaire qui crée les conditions d’une hypoperfusion au niveau de la vascularisation rétinienne. Nous présentons un cas qui montre une association possible entre la maculopathie médiane paracentrale aiguë et le glaucome avec un traumatisme par pression comme évènement déclencheur.
Paracentral acute middle maculopathy is a lesion of the inner nuclear layer and outer plexiform layer of the macula associated with local or systemic vascular diseases that can induce retinal hypoxia. The etiologic mechanism may be related to the increase in intraocular pressure which creates conditions of hypoperfusion in the retinal vasculature. We present a case that shows a possible association between paracentral acute middle maculopathy and glaucoma with the trauma of elevated intraocular pressure as a triggering event.
