Abstract EN
A 17-year-old presented with central and paracentral scotomas in his right eye for one week.
There was no remarkable medical or ocular history.
Blood analyses were within normal range.
At presentation both eyes’ best-corrected visual acuities were 20/20.
Slit-lamp examination result was normal.
Fundus examination revealed yellow-white hypopigmented areas in the macula.
Fluorescein angiography (FA) showed hypofluorescence surrounded by ring of hyperfluorescence.
Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) was slightly increased.
Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) showed disruption of IS/OS junction with expansion of abnormal hyperreflectivity from retinal pigment epithelium to the outer nuclear layer (ONL).
One month later fundus examination showed disappearance of the lesions.
FA revealed transmission hyperfluorescence.
FAF showed increased autofluorescence and pigment clumping.
Hyperreflective band in SD-OCT disappeared.
Loss of photoreceptor segment layers was observed in some of the macular lesions.
The diagnosis of acute retinal pigment epitheliitis can be challenging after disappearance of fundus findings.
FA, FAF, and SD-OCT are important tests for diagnosis after resolution of the disease.
