Ocular coherence tomography in acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.
The authors report a case of typical acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy in which an ocular coherence tomographic scan was performed through an acute lesion and then repeated through the same lesion 12 months later. The initial ocular coherence tomographic scan showed marked anterior displacement of both neuroretina and outer reflective band. A subsequent ocular coherence tomographic scan revealed resolution of the prior displacement, increased reflectance of the outer reflective band and mild disruption of the outer retinal layers. These findings are consistent with a primary choroiditis.
