Optical coherence tomography findings in a case of acute multifocal posterior placoid pigment epitheliopathy (AMPPPE).
European Journal of Ophthalmology 2005 January
PURPOSE: To report the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a case of acute multifocal posterior placoid pigment epitheliopathy (AMPPPE).
DESIGN: Case report.
METHODS: A 26-year-old woman was seen for a mild loss of visual acuity in both eyes. The fundus examination revealed yellow-white placoid lesions in the posterior pole suggesting AMPPPE. Fluorescein and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed 2 days, 9 days, and 1 month after the first examination.
RESULTS: In the acute phases the OCT revealed a mild hyperreflective area above the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) in the photoreceptor layer. In the later phases the OCT scan revealed a nodular hyperreflective lesion on the plane of the RPE with mild underlying backscattering.
CONCLUSIONS: In AMPPPE, the OCT demonstrates hyperreflective lesions that may indicate inflammatory tissue and inflammatory cells or the presence of ischemic edema in the outer retinal layers.
