- Abstract
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 from 20/20 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.
