Article Synopsis
- Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is a retinal condition marked by various yellowish-white lesions that can sometimes lead to permanent vision loss if they develop into scars.
- Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging can help identify severe lesions that may need treatment, such as oral prednisolone, especially in cases involving the macula.
- Two case studies illustrate the progression and management of APMPPE, showing changes in the autofluorescence of lesions over time, with patients experiencing recurrences and adjustments in treatment based on FAF findings.
Purpose: To report two cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment following rupture of retinal arterial macroaneurysm.
Design: Observational case report.
Methods: Review of clinical records of 75 consecutive eyes (73 patients) with macroaneurysm.
