  • Title: [Acute macular neuroretinopathy: a case report].
    Author: Carrasco B, Calonge M, Rodríguez De La Rúa E, Aragón JA, Pastor JC.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2001 May; 76(5):319-22. PubMed ID: 11373709.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: A 68 year old woman developed a sudden decrease in her visual acuity in both eyes with several central scotomas. Funduscopy demonstrated a motted alteration of the retinal pigment epithelium in both maculae. The fluorescein angiography showed a choroidal ischemia at the macular level in both eyes. DISCUSSION: The patient was diagnosed of acute macular neuroretinopathy. This entity is included among the so-called <<white dot syndromes>>. However, it is important to determine which of these diseases each patient suffers in order to determine if treatment is necessary, the visual prognosis and the possibility of recurrences.
