Functional and anatomic changes in acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy: a case report.

Purpose: To report the functional and anatomic features of a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE). Methods: Case report. Results: A 30-year-old man presented with a decrease of visual acuity that started a few days earlier. Fundus examination showed multiple, subretinal, white-yellowish lesions at the posterior pole in both eyes, suggesting APMPPE. Symptoms and clinical signs resolved within a few weeks, leaving welldefined areas of atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Conclusions: This case report emphasizes the role of the RPE in the pathogenesis of APMPPE
