  • Title: Post viral acute multifocal posterior placoid pigment epithiopathy in a teenage child.
    Author: Nga AD, Ramli N, Mimiwati Z.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2009 Jun; 64(2):176-8. PubMed ID: 20058585.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of a young boy presenting with bilateral blurring of vision following a viral like illness. Fundus examination revealed multiple pale cream-coloured lesions scattered across the posterior pole of both eyes. Fundus fluorescein angiography showed characteristic features of early hypofluorescence and late hyperfluorescence, further confirming the diagnosis of acute posterior placoid pigment epitheliopathy (AMPPPE). He was treated with topical steroids for the accompanying mild anterior uveitis. He had a prompt visual recovery with no adverse sequelae.
