ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To describe the clinical findings and course in four patients with acute annular outer retinopathy. METHODS: Four patients were evaluated during the course of acute annular outer retinopathy, and the historical and clinical findings were retrospectively collected. RESULTS: Four healthy patients developed the acute onset of visual field loss associated with a localized, white annular outer retinopathy. All patients were caucasian; two were women, aged 29 and 32 years, and two were men, aged 71 and 79 years. The mean follow-up was 3.9 years (range, 1 to 6 years). On presentation, four eyes had an irregular, incomplete, peripapillary, annular band of gray-white, deep retinal opacification with visual CONCLUSIONS: These four cases of acute annular outer retinopathy expand our knowledge of this disorder. Acute annular outer retinopathy may be a distinct entity or it may represent a variant of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy retinopathy. As more cases are recognized, the characteristic features of the disease spectrum, the etiology, and treatment options may be better elucidated.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To report alterations of electrophysiologic tests, including the multifocal electroretinogram, in a case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy. METHOD: We recorded photopic, scotopic, and single-flash electroretinograms and a multifocal electroretinogram in a 47-year-old woman with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy in the right eye. RESULTS: Her visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye throughout the follow-up period. The electroretinograms indicated retinal impairment of the right eye, predominantly in the cones. The multifocal electroretinogram showed reduced responses corresponding to the visual field defect of the static perimetry. CONCLUSIONS: In acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, impairment of the retinal area results in a visual field defect. The multifocal electroretinogram can be useful in determining the location of the defect.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To examine a 33-year-old woman who had an enlarged scotoma in her right eye and who was diagnosed with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy. METHODS: We performed a full ophthalmologic examination and scanning laser ophthalmoscopy. RESULT: With a 514-nm wavelength laser, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy demonstrated abnormal lesions bilaterally. No abnormalities were detected with a 630-nm wavelength laser. CONCLUSION: Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy can demonstrate retinal damage caused by acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, which is useful in differential diagnosis.
