Purpose: To present a case of sequential paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) in a middle-aged woman with no cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: A single case was evaluated. Results: A 53-year-old woman with a history of PAMM resulting from perfused central retinal artery occlusion in the left eye presented with PAMM in the right eye 3 years later. The patient had a medical history of treated anemia, stress disorder, and insomnia. Examination of the right eye showed a superior parafoveal crescent of translucent retina without associated edema or hemorrhage. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed hyperreflective band-like areas in the superior parafoveal and perifoveal regions. Fluorescein angiography revealed normal arterial filling. OCT angiography showed patchy filling of the middle capillary plexus with normal perfusion of the superficial capillary plexus in the right eye. Conclusions: Although bilateral sequential PAMM is rare, close monitoring in a case of PAMM in 1 eye should be considered.
