Choroidal Changes in an Unusual Case of Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy in Adult
Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is an uncommon disorder of uncertain origin. It had been considered to be a disease of young adults between the second and fourth decade with basic pathology at the retinal pigment epithelium level. Our case report highlights the dissimilar presentation of APMPPE in the elderly compared to the young and the advantage of noninvasive swept source optical coherence tomography angiography in diagnosing APMPPE in a patient with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
