Persistent placoid maculopathy characteristic imaging features that aid in diagnosing this rare clinical entity include the following: 1) plaque-like hypopigmented, white/yellowish foveal/perifoveal lesions on color fundus photography; 2) early hypofluorescence and late "fill-in" or staining on fluorescein angiography; 3) persistent ...

2006年7月12日 · Persistent placoid maculopathy has features resembling macular serpiginous choroiditis but differs in its clinical course and effect on VA. It appears to be a new entity. The majority of eyes develop choroidal neovascularization that results in loss of central vision.

Persistent placoid maculopathy is caused by genetic mutations, also known as pathogenic variants. Genetic mutations can be hereditary, when parents pass them down to their children, or they may occur randomly when cells are dividing.

2023年9月23日 · Persistent placoid maculopathy (PPM) is a rare clinical entity first described by Golchet et al 1 in a series of 6 patients with clinical features that superficially resembled acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) and macular serpiginous choroidopathy (SC).

In their recent article, 1 Golchet et al reported the clinical and angiographic findings in 6 patients with a new clinical entity that was called persistent placoid maculopathy. The condition was found to have clinical features resembling those of macular serpiginous choroiditis but with a distinct presentation and clinical course.

Persistent placoid maculopathy has features resembling macular serpiginous choroiditis but differs in its clinical course and effect on visual acuity. It appears to be a new entity. The majority of eyes develop CNV, which results in loss of central vision.

Persistent placoid maculopathy is characterized by white plaque-like lesions involving the macula but sparing the peripapillary areas of both eyes. It has been described in five patients.

Persistent placoid maculopathy (PPM) is a rare clinical entity first described by Golchet et al 1 in a series of 6 patients with clinical features that superficially resembled acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) and macular serpiginous choroidopathy.

Persistent placoid maculopathy is typically found in the macula, with rare occurrences of extramacular lesions, and tends to spare the peripapillary region. Notably, the cases presented by the authors were often extramacular and expanded around the optic disc.
