Abstract

The authors describe a case of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy (AEPVM) in an otherwise healthy man in his 60s complaining of subacute bilateral blurred vision. At examination, best-corrected visual acuity was 20/32 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. Bilateral central large serous detachments with inferior meniscus-like deposition of a vitelliform-like material were observed at funduscopy and confirmed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Small vitelliform-like lesions along the temporal superior vascular arcades were also seen. The lesions with vitelliform appearance appeared hyperautofluorescent on fundus autofluorescence. A complete systemic workup and genetic testing were performed and the diagnosis of idiopathic AEPVM was established. Six months later, a complete resolution of the lesions was observed.
