Abstract
-
Unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy is a rare, self limiting disorder that affects healthy young adults with sudden, severe loss of central vision. We diagnosed bilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy in a 17-year-old man who experienced sudden, rapidly progressive central visual loss following a flu-like illness and report this case with a review of the literatures.
