ASYMPTOMATIC MULTIFOCAL PARACENTRAL ACUTE MIDDLE MACULOPATHY ASSOCIATED WITH JUVENILE DERMATOMYOSITIS: OPTICAL COHERENCE ANGIOGRAPHY FINDINGS.
Retinal Cases & Brief Reports 2019 January 4
PURPOSE: To describe a unique presentation of multifocal paracentral acute middle maculopathy in a young patient with juvenile dermatomyositis including optical coherence tomography angiography findings.
METHODS: Retrospective single case report.
PATIENT: Seventeen-year-old male patient with a history of juvenile dermatomyositis presented for routine hydroxychloroquine screening.
RESULTS: Optical coherence tomography revealed undulations of the outer retinal layers and retinal thinning near the fovea in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography angiography revealed loss of flow void densities in the superficial and deep capillary plexi in both eyes. These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of paracentral acute middle maculopathy.
CONCLUSION: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of the optical coherence tomography angiography findings in paracentral acute middle maculopathy associated with juvenile dermatomyositis. The defects were located in the superficial and deep capillary plexi and likely due to the known occlusive retinopathy associated with juvenile dermatomyositis.
