Abstract
- Purpose: To report a case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) in a 39-year-old woman. Methods: Images were obtained with fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). A multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) was also obtained to evaluate retinal function. Results: The patient's right visual acuity was 0.8. Fundus photographs showed no specific abnormal findings. OCT showed attenuation of the photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) line and the cone outer segment tip (COST) line in the right eye. The mfERG showed corresponding amplitude reductions. One month after the initial visit, her right visual acuity improved to 1.2. There was partial recovery of the IS/OS line; however, the COST line was still absent, and there was no apparent improvement in the mfERG responses. Conclusions: Our findings showed a discrepancy between the microstructural findings and visual function during recovery of AZOOR.
