Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE), represents an acquired inflammatory disorder affecting the retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid of young adults. The disease is characterized by multiple yellow-white placoid subretinal lesions of the posterior pole. We present the case of a young woman, 25 years old, who attended our department complaining of sudden vision loss in both eyes, without any history of ocular or general diseases. After a complex ocular and general examination, a set of laboratory exams and ocular investigations, we established the diagnosis of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy. Local and general treatment was initiated. The patient was followed for 18 months to note the disease's evolution, considering the risk of recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
