title: Acute macular neuroretinopathy.
abstract: A 17-year-old boy had minor visual impairment, paracentral scotomata, and parafoveal retinal lesions following a presumed viral infection. Contact lens biomicroscopy demonstrated the retinal defects to be located at the level of the deep sensory retina. Fluorescein angiography revealed subtle areas of hypofluorescence which corresponded to the visible disturbances of the sensory retina. Follow-up examination three months later revealed persistent complaints of paracentral scotomata and persistent, but less recognizable retinal lesions. We believe the primary site of involvement to be the deep sensory retina.
