A 30-year-old woman with acute pancreatitis was referred to our eye clinic because of sudden blindness. Visual acuity was reduced to counting fingers in both eyes. Fundoscopy showed cotton-wool spots and intraretinal haemorrhages surrounding a normal optic disc bilaterally (figure A, B). At 3-month follow-up, the patient's retinal findings had much improved spontaneously. However, her visual acuity did not recover completely (right, 20/40, left, 20/25), although the underlying pancreatitis had been treated successfully.
