Paracentral acute middle maculopathy(PAMM) is a type of ischemic maculopathy... A typical presentation is a sudden onset paracentral scotomas with or without decreased vision, parafoveal greyish-white lesions, and hyperreflective bands localized to the middle layers of the retina, mainly the outer plexiform layer(OPL) and inner nuclear layer(INL) on spectral domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT). The characteristic lesions are due to ischemia of the intermediate and deep capillary plexuses... 2, record 1, English, - paracentral%20acute%20middle%20maculopathy
