Early-onset atypical ischemic maculopathy after bone marrow transplantation.
Typical ischemic retinal microvascular changes after bone marrow transplantation is a well-established entity and is seen in up to 7% of allogenic transplant recipients. Such cases are characterized by symmetric presence of cotton wool spots, retinal hemorrhages, and multiple microaneurysms and have a good visual prognosis. In this report we describe a case of atypical ischemic maculopathy with poor visual recovery after bone marrow transplantation.
