  • Title: Acute macular neuroretinopathy.
    Author: Douglas IS, Cockburn DM.
    Journal: Clin Exp Optom; 2003 Mar; 86(2):121-6. PubMed ID: 12643808.
    Abstract:
    Acute macular neuroretinopathy is an infrequently encountered condition in which there is a sudden mild central vision loss, photopsia and red-brown wedge-shaped lesions in the macular region with corresponding scotomata in the central visual fields. The condition may be associated with the use of oral contraceptives or with a recent febrile illness. It is self-limiting and non-recurrent. The clinical features of a patient with acute macular neuroretinopathy are described and the nature of the vascular aetiology is discussed.
