Serous retinal detachment as a complication of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.

PURPOSE: To report the occurrence and optical coherence tomography characteristics of serous retinal detachments in a patient with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE).

METHODS

A patient with APMPPE presented with a dramatic reduction in vision associated with bilateral serous retinal detachments.

RESULTS

After systemic steroid treatment, the serous detachments resolved leaving pigmentary changes typical of resolved APMPPE.

CONCLUSION

Serous retinal detachments are an unusual finding in APMPPE. We describe an unusual case of APMPPE that has features typical of both APMPPE and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease with optical coherence tomography characteristics that, to the authors' knowledge, have yet to be described in APMPPE.
