Summary

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) affects individuals between 20 to 30 years of age and ocular manifestations are often preceded by flu-like illness. Symptoms of the disease include acute vision decrease associated with central and paracentral scotoma. Impairment of vision is usually bilateral, but may be asymmetric. We report the case of a man at the age of twenty-one, who was treated for APMPPE. Due to the involvement of the macula, low visual acuity and related immunogenetic predisposition (HLA-B27 positivity) was recommended corticosteroid therapy with a good therapeutic effect.

Key words:
acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE), white dot syndromes, macular edema
