Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epiteliopathy and neurological involvement in an elderly patient : case report and review
We report a rare case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) in an elderly patient and a review of the recent scientific literature. A 65-year-old Caucasian man, forty-five days after return from tropical travel he developed right-sided facial palsy with right hemiplegia, dysarthria and a positive Babinski sign. He started prednisone 90 mg/day. Clinical, laboratory and imaging examinations were reported. Five months later there was a complete neurological and ophthalmological recovery. Although APMPPE was described primarily in young adults, we report the first case of APMPPE associated with neurological involvement in an older patient with a complete restitutio ad integrum.
