| Abstract;A 67-year-old male presented with acute visual loss in both eyes of one week's duration. He had been under treatment with systemic prednisolone for nephrosis syndrome. Both eyes showed exudative retinal betachment and multiple tears in the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE). Fluorescein angiography showed leakage and pooling of dye with hyperflorescence in the area of tear in the RPE. The fundings led to the diagnosis of multifocal posterior pigment epitheliopathy(MPPE). Laser photocoagulation was applied to areas of bye leakage and to the RPE tear, resulting in resolution of subretinal fluid and cessation of bye leakage. This case illstrates the usefulness of laser photocoagulation for persistent MPPE with tear in the RPE. (author abst.) |
