Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is an inflammatory chorioretinopathy which was first described by Gass in 1968. [1] . It is classified as a White Dot Syndrome or Choriocapillaris Disease and is uncommon, with an estimated incidence of 0.15 cases per 100,000 persons.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is an acquired inflammatory uveitis that belongs to the heterogenous group of white dot syndromes in which light-coloured (yellowish-white) lesions begin to form in the macular area of the retina.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is an acquired, inflammatory eye condition affecting the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (pigmented layer of the retina), and choroid. It usually affects both eyes and is characterized by multiple, yellow-white lesions in …

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is a rare inflammatory eye disease, affecting the inner choroid and the outer retina. Recent advances in multimodal imaging have been important in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, allowing a better characterization of the morphology of this condition.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is a primary inflammatory choriocapillaropathy (PICCP) that was first described in 1968, by John Donald Macintyre Gass [1]. As its name indicates, the main lesion process was …

APMPPE is one of the white dot syndromes that occurs in young healthy adults and similarly affects males and females. It is usually bilateral, although may be worse in one eye. APMPPE is generally a self-limited condition that requires no treatment and has a good prognosis.

Originally described by Gass in 1968, acute posterior multifocal pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE), is a disorder characterized by the sudden appearance of multiple, yellow-white, flat inflammatory lesions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris.1 Although surrounded by considerable controversy, the pathogenesis and eti...

2020年10月4日 · Symptoms may include flashes of light, blurred vision, blind spots, and distorted vision. Fundus examination shows scattered, flat multifocal creamy white or yellow spots at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with indistinct margins. Source: Review of Ophthalmology.

2021年9月16日 · Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is a rare inflammatory eye disease, affecting the inner choroid and the outer retina. Recent advances in multimodal imaging have been important in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, allowing a better characterization of the morphology of this condition.

We report a case of APMPPE with centromacular involvement, treated with systemic corticotherapy, with ocular fundus lesions and choriocapillaris reperfusion in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), thus corroborating the predominant role of hypoperfusion of choriocapillaris in the etiopathogenesis of this disease. 2.
