Purpose:
To present a pediatric case of acute retinal pigment epitheliitis (ARPE) and propose a classification based on imaging findings and prognosis.
Methods:
A case report with literature review.
Results:
The case demonstrated hallmark ARPE features alongside an atypical disease course, indicating a broader clinical spectrum. Multimodal imaging plays a crucial role in differentiating ARPE from mimicking retinal disorders.
Conclusion:
ARPE may represent a spectrum of subtypes with varying prognostic implications. A classification based on age, laterality and imaging biomarkers could improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management.
