BLANCO-RIVERA, C.  e  CAMPOS-GARCIA, S.. Acute retinal pigment epitheliitis: A case report. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.7, pp.451-453. ISSN 0365-6691.

Clinical case: We report the case of a 45-year-old male who attended our emergency service with loss of vision in his left eye after an attack of influenza. The vision in his left eye was slightly inferior to that in the right eye. Ophthalmoscopy showed small orange lesions in the macular and foveolar area. Fluorescein angiography was carried out producing features like an acute retinal epitheliitis. Discussion: Acute retinal epitheliitis is a clinical picture seen in younger patients often following a viral illness. Spontaneous resolution usually occurs.
