SALOM, D. et al. Acute macular neuroretinopathy. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.5, pp.307-310. ISSN 0365-6691.

Clinical case: A 22-year-old woman complained of symptoms consistent with the sudden onset of central scotomas in both eyes after a flu-like illness. The typical reddish brown macular lesions of acute macular neuroretinopathy were evident in the parafoveal area of both eyes. Visual field examination revealed central scotomas in both eyes that corresponded in location to the retinal injuries. Discussion: Acute macular neuroretinopathy is a rare idiopathic posterior uveitis for which no effective treatment is available. Several pathogenic theories are postulated.
