title: [Poor visual outcome in acute multifocal placoid pigment posterior epitheliopathy. A clinical case].
abstract: We report a case of a fifty-year-old women suffering from acute multifocal posterior placoid pigment epitheliopathy (AMPPPE), very atypical in terms of clinical appearance and course. From this observation, we provide a progress report on the usual course of AMPPPE as well as atypical features of this affection through reports in the literature; finally we detail disorders ressembling both AMPPPE and serpiginous choroidopathy, the main differential diagnosis.
