  • Title: Subretinal fluid in acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.
    Author: Birnbaum AD, Blair MP, Tessler HH, Goldstein DA.
    Journal: Retina; 2010 May; 30(5):810-4. PubMed ID: 19996817.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical finding of macular subretinal fluid by optical coherence tomography in patients with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy. METHODS: Patients with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy were identified, and those with macular serous retinal detachment noted clinically and confirmed by optical coherence tomography are described. RESULTS: Of 8 patients with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy evaluated by the uveitis service at the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary between 2003 and 2008, 4 eyes of 3 patients presented with macular subretinal fluid. Confirmatory optical coherence tomography was performed in two patients. CONCLUSION: Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy may present clinically with macular subretinal fluid. This finding can be confirmed and monitored with optical coherence tomography.
