dc.description.abstractTwenty-six-year-old male patient admitted to the outpatient clinic with a complaint of decreased vision in both eyes. Visual acuity was 2/10 in the right and 7/10 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed bilateral yellow-white subretinal lesions involving the macula. Fluorescein angiography showed hypofluorescent lesions in early and hyperflourescent lesions in the late phase. Optical coherence tomography angiography performed in the acute phase showed bilateral hypofluorescency at the choriocapillary level. A diagnosis of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy was given. After steroid treatment, visual acuity was improved to 10/10 and earlier lesions in optical coherence tomography angiography were found to be reduced. In conclusion, optical coherence tomography angiography is a noninvasive imaging technique that can be used in the diagnosis and follow-up of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.en_US
