Resolution of retinal pigment epitheliitis-optical coherence tomography findings.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To describe the morphologic appearance of the retina during the course of acute retinal pigment epitheliitis (ARPE) with optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS: Observational case report. RESULTS: OCT demonstrated an abnormality in the inner higher reflective line, which represents the outer and inner segments of the retinal photoreceptors at the fovea. Four months later, the tomographic appearance returned to normal. CONCLUSION: Photoreceptors segments are involved in the disease process of ARPE. OCT demonstrated the different stages in the resolution of ARPE.
