Paracentral acute middle maculopathy: precursor to macular thinning in sickle cell retinopathy

We present a case of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) in a patient with sickle cell disease (SCD). Though gradual capillary loss may contribute to pathophysiology of sickle cell retinopathy as well, our case suggests that PAMM may be the precursor lesion to macular thinning commonly observed in patients with SCD. In addition, fluorescein angiography may be unable to detect these acute vascular events occurring at the deep capillary plexus.
