Granulomatous anterior uveitis presenting with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.

N P Alvi1, G A Fishman.   

Abstract

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) has been described as a posterior segment inflammatory disorder of young adults of unknown etiology. Granulomatous anterior uveitis in association with APMPPE has only rarely been reported in the literature. We report a patient who presented with clinical and angiographic findings consistent with APMPPE in addition to granulomatous anterior uveitis with mutton-fat keratic precipitates and Koeppe nodules. This latter finding has not been emphasized as a possible feature of APMPPE.
