Teenage acute macular neuroretinopathy.
OBJECTIVE
To present the first case of acute macular neuroretinopathy in a teenager.


METHODS
Case report, optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, electroretinography.


RESULTS
Optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and electroretinography were used to diagnose acute macular neuroretinopathy. Laboratory results were positive for HLA-B7.


CONCLUSIONS
The rare diagnosis of acute macular neuroretinopathy should be considered in girls on oral contraceptives, with a recent history of acute viral illness, who present with acute rapid onset of multiple, paracentral scotomas.
