Purpose To investigate the clinical features and pathogenesis of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy(APMPPE). Methods To observe the features in 8 eyes of 6 cases of APMPPE with fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) and indocyanine green angiography(ICGA).One of the cases had been observed continuously for 160 days. Results 1.FFA: at the acute stage of APMPPE,the affected foci showed low fluorescence in the early phase and stained gradually in 3 eyes;the fluorescence of recessive foci were still lower in 4 eyes,and the stale one showed window defect fluorescence due to some RPE fading and fluorescence sheltering due to pigment deposit.2.ICGA:at acuted stage,the fluorescence of choroid lobules was ofen defected untill in late period of pathogenical changes. Conclusion The findings demonstrate the obstruction of choriocapillaries may be the primary pathogenesis of APMPPE. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1998,14:84-87)
