Acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy is a rare acute disorder characterized by multifocal, curvilinear or oval, yellow-white, posterior pole lesions with vision loss and preceding headaches.¹ These retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) lesions are associated with bilateral serous detachments and evolve into deposits resembling those of Best disease. During subsequent weeks, patients experience gradual recovery of vision.¹ Optical coherence tomography^2-3 and indocyanine green angiography⁴ findings have been described. To date, 7 cases have been reported in the literature. The main aim of the current study was to ascertain the nature of the posterior pole lesions using autofluorescence imaging in 3 patients and to characterize macular, retinal, and RPE function using International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision–standard electrophysiology.^5-7
