Abstract
This study presents a case of acute (middle) macular neuroretinopathy. Acute onset of this disease corresponds with the appearance of paracentral scotomas and reddish brown lesions on the retina. The pathophysiology is unclear, but recent research suggests a microvascular etiology. Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography usually reveal normal features. No specific treatment exists.
