Deep capillary retinal ischemia and high-titer prothrombin-associated antiphospholipid antibodies: A case series of three patients

Acute macular neuroretinopathy has been shown to be due to ischemia of the deep capillary retinal plexus and most cases occur in young women; we hypothesized that there may be an association with antiphospholipid antibodies. We identified three patients who were diagnosed with deep capillary retinal ischemia after presenting with sudden onset of focal paracentral scotoma who tested persistently positive for antiphospholipid antibodies.
