ABSTRACT
Unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy(UAIM)is a rare, self-limiting disorder that affects healthy young adults who experience sudden, severe visual loss. It is characterized by an exudative maculopathy with irregular margins and yellowish-white thickening at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE). The fluorescein angiographic findings characteristically demonstrate early irregular hyperfluorescence and hypofluorescence at the level of RPE lesion, followed by complete staining of the overlying neurosensory retinal detachment in the late phase. A characteristic bulls-eye pattern pigmentary changes may occur in the macula after resolution of the acute phase of the disease. We report a patient with atypical presentation of UAIM in which multifocal leaks at the RPE level on the fluorescein angiography was observed.
