[Contribution to retinopathy in acute pancreatitis]. 1987

G Bretzke, and K Bretzke

It is reported on 2 cases of pancreatitic retinopathy in acute pancreatitis. In the first place of the clinical symptoms there are acutely beginning bilateral vision disturbances 2 to 3 days after the onset of the disease which exist for a long time. Causally an obstruction of the precapillary and capillary parts of the vascular system of the retina, but also of the choriocapillary system by fat particles and corpuscular blood elements is discussed. With certainty still other factors play a part, for example preinjury of the vascular parts mentioned by circulating pancreatic enzymes and toxins. In patients with acute pancreatitis vision disturbances should be taken into consideration, even when these changes are very rare.
