Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy

Abstract

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is more common in people of young working age. It manifests itself in the appearance of light foci on the retina, leading to a decrease in visual acuity. The presented clinical cases demonstrate an interdisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In some cases, the disease may occur without reducing visual acuity and be undiagnosed. In the acute stage of APMPPE, the use of anti-inflammatory therapy, including systemic steroids, gives a good clinical effect.
