- Abstract
Purpose: To report two cases of acute macular neuroretinopathy with unusually small parafoveal lesions, which showed later recurrent lesions either in the same eye or the fellow eye. Methods: Observational case series. Patients: In case 1, a 48-year-old woman developed a sudden onset of a tiny paracentral scotoma associated with a small reddish-brown paracentral lesion. A new paracentral lesion with a corresponding scotoma developed 1 year later. In case 2, a 39-year-old man with diabetes type 1 developed a pracentral scotoma OS with a corresponding small reddish-brown lesion. Two months later, a similar lesion with a corresponding scotoma developed in the fellow eye. Conclusions: Acute macular neuroretinopathy may present with tiny paracentral lesions difficult to detect with fundus examination, and may be associated with recurrent lesions either in the same eye or the fellow eye.
