Treatment of cystoid macular edema due to acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of unilateral late-presenting acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) with CME evaluated before and after administration of IVTA.


METHODS
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.


CONCLUSIONS
In this case report, IVTA improved macular anatomy, visual acuity, and macular sensitivity.
