Abstract

Acute macular neuroretinopathy acutely affects the outer nuclear and plexiform layers manifesting as OCT hyperreflectivity. The hallmark long-term changes are outer nuclear thinning on Fourier domain OCT and a fading dark lesion on IR reflectance imaging. These changes correspond to focal disruption of the outer segment/retinal pigment epithelium junction on OCT, and not the inner segment/outer segment junction, as previously reported. Optical coherence tomography and near IR autofluorescence abnormalities suggest previously unrecognized melanin and retinal pigment epithelium derangements in this condition.
