[Pigmentary epitheliopathy multifocal acute placoid associated with paralysis of VI cranial par].
METHODS
We report the case of a 24-year-old patient who attended our hospital with an acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) which was later confirmed by fluorescein angiography. One month after presentation the patient developed a right VI nerve palsy.


CONCLUSIONS
APMPPE is an acute-onset bilateral inflammatory disease causing impaired vision. Although it is thought to be benign, neurologic manifestations have been described even months after presentation. There is no previous report of APMPPE associated with VI nerve palsy.
