MULTIMODAL IMAGING OF BILATERAL IDIOPATHIC MULTIFOCAL RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIAL DETACHMENTS IN YOUNG PATIENTS
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe two cases of multiple epithelial detachments (pigment epithelial detachments [PEDs]) occurring in otherwise young, healthy patients. METHODS: The medical and imaging records of two cases were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Multiple serous nonvascula...

description | PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe two cases of multiple epithelial detachments (pigment epithelial detachments [PEDs]) occurring in otherwise young, healthy patients. METHODS: The medical and imaging records of two cases were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Multiple serous nonvascularized PEDs were present in two young, healthy patients who underwent multimodal imaging. The first patient, a 38-year-old woman, was incidentally found to have a visual acuity of 20/20 in both eyes and multiple bilateral PEDs. Imaging and a systemic work-up was negative for secondary causes, and at 36 months, vision remained stable although some of the PEDs had coalesced. The second patient, a 32-year-old woman, presented with distortion and perceived scotomas in both eyes progressive over the course of 2 years. The visual acuity was 20/20, and multimodal imaging confirmed the presence of bilateral PEDs. CONCLUSION: Bilateral idiopathic multifocal retinal PEDs in otherwise healthy young adults is a rare condition. Longer term follow-up is needed to evaluate secondary complications and visual outcomes. |
