          Abstract

          The authors describe imagiological findings in idiopathic exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy. A 41-year-old woman complained of bilateral blurry vision. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 bilaterally. Bilateral small serous neurosensory detachments in the fovea were seen at fundoscopy and confirmed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Fluorescein angiography was unremarkable. Indocyanine green angiography presented discrete hyperfluorescent spots on the posterior pole. Later, more bleb-like lesions with a vitelliform appearance and hyperautofluorescent on blue fundus autofluorescence were detected. One year later, a complete resolution of the fluid was observed. To conclude, multimodal evaluation of patients with idiopathic exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy is essential for the correct diagnosis of this disease.

              Intravitreal dexamethasone implant for acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy.

              Acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy is a rare retinal disease characterized by bilateral serous macular detachment and subretinal accumulation of yellowish deposits resembling Best dystrophy lesions. Corticosteroid systemic therapy has been used empirically in the attempt to treat this retinal disorder with mixed results. Thus, the benefit of corticosteroid remains undetermined. To our knowledge, we report the first case of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy (AEPVM) treated in one eye with intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex; Allergan, Inc., Irvine, California, USA).
