Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (Q88392): Difference between revisions

This is an inflammatory uveitis that belongs to the heterogenous group of white dot syndromes in which light-coloured lesions begin to form in the macula, inside the retina of the eye. Over time, the lesions cause vision loss that can go from mild to severe, but with no pain involved. Classified as an inflammatory disorder that is acute, but self-limiting, the lesions leave behind some pigmentation, but visual acuity eventually improves.
