Spectral domain optical coherence tomography findings in acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis
BACKGROUND We describe the spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in three patients with acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC). The SD-OCT images demonstrate the pathologic changes in ASPPC with a high level of anatomic detail and may provide information about the pathophysiology of the disease. FINDINGS We report a series of three consecutive pati...
متن کاملSpectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Features of Acute Syphilitic Posterior Placoid Chorioretinitis: The Role of Autoimmune Response in Pathogenesis
PURPOSE Syphilis is an infectious disease that can cause a wide variety of ocular signs. One of the rarest manifestations of ocular syphilis is acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC). We report on the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) features of a case diagnosed with unilateral ASPPC. METHODS A 64-year-old man presented with a sudden loss of visual acu...
متن کاملAtypical Acute Syphilitic Posterior Placoid Chorioretinitis
A 48-year-old man presented with visual dimness in the right eye that had developed 2 weeks previously. Dilated fundus examination showed few vitreous cells and numerous yellow, placoid lesions in both eyes. His right eye had more severe serous retinal detachment involving the macula. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated early irregular hypofluorescence with late staining in the areas of the ye...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography and indocyanine green angiography findings in acute syphilitic posterior placoid choroidopathy: case report.
The optical coherence tomography (OCT) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) findings of a 58-year-old male with acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis are reported herein. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/150 in the right eye (OD) and 20/30 in the left eye (OS) at presentation. On funduscopy, there was a central subretinal placoid yellowish lesion in OD. VDRL and serum FTA-AB...
متن کاملPhotoreceptor changes in acute and resolved acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy documented by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
A cute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is generally believed to be a self-limiting inflammatory disorder affecting the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Vision usually recovers within weeks. The exact cause and site of the pathologic abnormality are not confirmed. We describe spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) changes during acute and resolved p...
