[Placoid pigment epitheliopathy: a parallel study between automatized perimetry and fluorescence angiography]

This report concerns a patient whom, on the basis of clinical data and instrumental findings, we diagnosed as suffering from Acute Multifocal Posterior Pigment Epitheliopathy (AMPPE). We found the comparison of the angiographic findings and of the automated perimetry performed with the Octopus quite interesting since the literature does not contain reports of such comparisons. The results of perimetry were also of considerable interest. The test revealed serious impairment of retinal luminous sensitivity. The comparison of angiography and automated perimetry of the lesions of the pigmented epithelium was quite useful for providing a better clinical picture and understanding of the functional state.
