Description
Background To report a patient with repeated recurrence of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM) at the same site of the eye. Methods A 27-year-old female with UAIM in the left eye was followed up and examined by fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results The clinical features of the maculopathy at first presentation were compatible with UAIM. The maculopathy recurred twice at the same site of the eye during the 20-month follow-up. After three episodes of the disease, best corrected visual acuity decreased from20/20 to 20/33, and discontinuity of IS/OS in the macular area was observed by OCT. Conclusions We report a patient with UAIM occurring three times at the same site of the eye. To our knowledge, the feature of recurrence of UAIM has not been reported.
