title: [Acute zonal outer occult retinopathy].
abstract: METHODS
  In May 2001 a 10-year-old boy, examined 3 months after the development of a large temporal scotoma in the right eye, was diagnosed with photopsia. The fundus appeared normal, visual field examination revealed a large temporal defect and, in July 2001, electroretinography (ERG) was nonrecordable. The left eye was normal. The field defects and ERG abnormality remained 4 years later, and the fundus developed a sharply demarcated zone of atrophy of the RPE.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We report a typical case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR). Although rare, its symptoms are variable, and its shape is not characteristic, making it difficult to make the correct diagnosis.
