ASENSIO-SANCHEZ, VM et al. Acute zonal outer occult retinopathy. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.10, pp.603-605. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: In May 2001 a 10-year-old boy, examined 3 months after the development of a large temporal scotoma in the right eye, was diagnosed with photopsia. The fundus appeared normal, visual field examination revealed a large temporal defect and, in July 2001, electroretinography (ERG) was nonrecordable. The left eye was normal. The field defects and ERG abnormality remained 4 years later, and the fundus developed a sharply demarcated zone of atrophy of the RPE. Discussion: We report a typical case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR). Although rare, its symptoms are variable, and its shape is not characteristic, making it difficult to make the correct diagnosis.
