AI Article Synopsis
- A 29-year-old male was diagnosed with unilateral late-presenting acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) associated with cystoid macular edema (CME) and treated with intra-venous triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA).
- Fundus examination and imaging showed CME and APMPPE lesions, and after IVTA treatment, the patient's visual acuity improved from 20/28 to 20/20, and retinal thickness reduced.
- The report concludes that IVTA effectively improved the patient's macular structure, vision, and sensitivity in this case of APMPPE with CME.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of unilateral late-presenting acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) with CME evaluated before and after administration of IVTA.
Method: A 29-year-old male diagnosed as APMPPE with CME was treated with IVTA.
Results: Fundus examination revealed CME and sequelae APMPPE lesions without involvement of posterior pole. FA and OCT findings were consistent with CME. After IVTA (4 mg/0.1 mL) administration; BCVA increased from 20/28 to 20/20, mean retinal thickness decreased in OCT, and mean sensitivity in microperimetry increased from 15.7 to 17.2 dB.
Conclusion: In this case report, IVTA improved macular anatomy, visual acuity, and macular sensitivity.
