PURPOSE: To report the functional and anatomic features of a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE). METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 30-year-old man presented with a decrease of visual acuity that started a few days earlier. Fundus examination showed multiple, subretinal, white-yellowish lesions at the posterior pole in both eyes, suggesting APMPPE. Symptoms and clinical signs resolved within a few weeks, leaving well-defined areas of atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). CONCLUSIONS: This case report emphasizes the role of the RPE in the pathogenesis of APMPPE.
