The Spectrum of Relentless Placoid and Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy (APMPPE): Multimodal Imaging Analysis.

PURPOSE:To showcase the spectrum between APMPPE and relentless placoid utilizing ultra-widefield imaging findings of a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) progressing to relentless placoid chorioretinitis (RPC). METHODS:A 23-year-old Caucasian female presented with worsening vision in both eyes. Clinical examination and multimodal imaging modalities including fundus photos, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and angiography were utilized to diagnose APMPPE and clinically follow the patient. RESULTS:Clinical examination of the patient initially revealed posterior lesions consistent with APMPPE but subsequent multimodal images including ultra-widefield FA and ICGA revealed newer, more peripheral lesions more typical of RPC. CONCLUSION:When compared to standard multimodal imaging, ultra-widefield imaging is an effective tool to delineate nuances between APMPPE and RPC through identification of peripheral lesions, which may be of clinical importance when determining management and therapeutics for patients.
