Abstract
- Purpose: To report a case of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) following Hepatitis B vaccine in a child. Observations: A 12-year-old healthy female presented with a paracentral scotoma in the right eye due to PAMM, likely associated with a recent Hepatitis B vaccine. Conclusions: Despite the great importance of vaccines, it is critical to promptly recognize their rare ocular complications, such as the vaccine associated PAMM described in this report.
