Abstract
We present a patient who had Purtscher's retinopathy in both eyes after sustaining a chest contusion. After multiple sessions of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy were given, visual function and retinal appearance improved. This case suggests that HBO therapy may be a treatment option for Purtscher's retinopathy.
