Objective:
To report on new features of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM).
Patients:
We have evaluated an additional 17 patients with UAIM since 1991. This is a report of new features of the maculopathy noted in seven patients from this new series.
Results:
New clinical findings in UAIM included eccentric macular lesions, subretinal exudation, papillitis, and bilaterality. The occurrence of UAIM in association with pregnancy and human immunodeficiency virus was also observed.
Conclusions:
The description of these newly reported features broadens our understanding of the nature of UAIM. With recognition of the expanded clinical spectrum of this disorder, a more confident approach to diagnosis and management may be achieved.
