Purpose: To report a case of a young female who presented with scotoma in the right eye for few days. Case Report: Krill’s disease or acute retinal pigment epithelitis (ARPE) is a self-limiting retinal disease with no specific treatment. Typical clinical and imaging features helped us to diagnose her with ARPE. Intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP), which gives a rapid anti-inflammatory response, was advised. An SD-OCT scan post-injection showed a reduction in hyperreflectivity and height of lesion at day 3 and near total resolution by day 5. Conclusion: This case suggests rapid resolution of ARPE with the use of IVMP

“…The characteristic optical coherence tomography feature is a dome-shaped hyperreflective lesion at the photoreceptor outer segment layer disrupting the ellipsoid zone and interdigitation zone, but hyperreflective lesions at the level of the RPE have also been reported. 2 In most cases, the disease is self-limited with recovery of good visual acuity in 6 to 12 weeks. Although the peripheral vascular leakage and choroidal involvement is inconsistent with a diagnosis of acute retinal pigment epitheliitis, both could be seen in the setting of a viral infection (the presumed cause of acute retinal pigment epitheliitis).…”
