Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy and thyroiditis
H. N. Jacklin
A young woman developed the characteristic clinical and fluorescein
angiographic findings of acute posterior multifocal placoid retinal pigment
epitheliopathy while being treated for acute thyroiditis. Widespread
involvement of the cornea, uveal tract, as well as the optic nerve and
retina indicate a generalized ocular inflammation in the clinical course of
this patient. The relationship between the subacute thyroiditis and acute
posterior multifocal placoid retinal pigment epitheliopathy may indicate an
underlying viral cause of both disorders.
