“…It occurs predominantly in young women, often preceded by an episode of flu, which matches our patients [2][3][4][5][6]. Other associations, such as oral contraceptives, epinefrin, extensive coffee consumption, and hypotensive episodes have raised the question of vascular involvement [2,4].…”

“…With the infrared light imaging mode of the Spectralis ® HRA+ OCT, however, they became easily visible through hyporeflexion, which has also been observed before with similar techniques [5][6][7]. The hyporeflective areas also enabled exact localisation of the corresponding pathology with optical coherence tomography.…”

“…PR OS damage is likely, however, as we have observed similar hyporeflective changes of the outer retina after soft focal laser coagulation. Other authors have documented similar signal attenuation of the outer retina by time-domain and frequency-domain OCT, which has, among others, been interpreted as fluid collection [3,6,8]. In contrast, one other report documented only a focal depression of the ELM, IS/OS, PR OS and RPE, but no signal attenuation, using ultra-high-resolution OCT [9].…”

“…Other associations, such as oral contraceptives, epinefrin, extensive coffee consumption, and hypotensive episodes have raised the question of vascular involvement [2,4]. Even though the pattern of perifoveal vasculature has been proposed to be responsible for the lesion morphology in this context, the exact mechanism remains unclear [6].…”

“…Advanced imaging modalities, such as spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), have demonstrated disruption of the ellipsoid zone to be a characteristic finding in AMN suggesting to rename it acute macular outer retinopathy. 2,3 Multicolor imaging (MC) and near infrared reflectance (NIR) have improved the en-face visualization of the affected areas. 4 In addition, a new classification of AMN has been proposed 5 based on the tomographic location of the lesions.…”

Purpose To study the usefulness of multicolor imaging (MC) photographs in addition to near infrared reflectance (NIR) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in the detection and follow up of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN). Patients and methods Six patients with a complaint of paracentral scotomas in at least one eye due to AMN were included. They underwent full ophthalmic examination and multimodal imaging including color fundus photographs, (SD-OCT), NIR, and MC at baseline and follow up.Results Four females and two males, aged 19-64 years, and eight eyes affected by AMN, were included. Acute phase SD-OCT in all patients confirmed the diagnosis of type 2 AMN with partial recovery of the outer retina in the convalescent phase. NIR and MC elicited in all cases hypo-reflective AMN lesions pointing toward the fovea. MC exhibited a higher contrast between the affected and the physiologic retina that slowly attenuated during the follow up showing a decrease in the hypo-reflectance of the lesions. Conclusion MC imaging was more detailed than fundus color photographs and as detailed as NIR in the detection of AMN. When available, MC imaging should complement SD-OCT and NIR in the diagnosis and follow up of this rare inflammatory condition that may be underdiagnosed.
