Abstract:
PURPOSE:To report two cases of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy. DESIGN:Observational case reports. METHODS:Fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and electrophysiology were performed. RESULTS:Both patients presented with sudden onset of blurred vision and bilaterally symmetric, central, and perimacular vitelliform lesions. Perimacular lesions were faintly hyperfluorescent early in the disease, but there was no abnormal fluorescence in the macular centers. Optical coherence tomography revealed anterior displacement of the photoreceptor layer by a hypereflective subretinal layer overlying a hyporeflective space above the retinal pigment epithelium-choriocapillaris complex under all lesions and no subretinal fluid. The electrooculogram was abnormal. Near complete resolution occurred over 4 to 8 months, with no improvement in the electrooculogram. CONCLUSIONS:Transient multifocal vitelliform lesions suggest a diagnosis of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy. Optical coherence tomography reveals characteristic anterior displacement of the photoreceptor layer by a subretinal hypereflective deposit similar to that seen in adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy.
