Summary

Unilateral Acute Idiopathic Maculopathy (UAIM) presents with sudden vision loss and characteristic fundus changes. Fluorescein angiography aids in diagnosis, though etiology remains unknown.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Unilateral Acute Idiopathic Maculopathy (UAIM) is a rare condition affecting vision.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical presentation and fluorescein angiography (FA).

Observation:

  • Three cases of UAIM are presented with varying clinical features, including eccentric maculopathy, papillitis, and association with pregnancy.
  • Patients experienced sudden unilateral decreased visual acuity.
  • Fundus examination revealed retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) thickening and neurosensory retinal detachment in the macula.

Findings:

  • Fluorescein angiography (FA) demonstrated early patchy hypofluorescence and hyperfluorescence at the RPE level.
  • A 'bull's eye appearance' in the macula can develop post-acute stage.
  • Clinical findings align with international reports, with no prior documented cases in China.

Implications:

  • Diagnosis of UAIM can be established using clinical and FA findings.
  • The underlying etiology and pathology of UAIM require further investigation.
  • This study highlights the importance of FA in diagnosing UAIM and contributes to its understanding in the Chinese population.
