Bilateral multiple retinal pigment epithelial detachments.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report a rare case of bilateral idiopathic multifocal retinal pigment epithelial detachments (imfPEDs) and to describe the long-term morphological and functional changes observed over a 16-year follow-up period.

Methods

A 49-year-old woman was diagnosed with imfPEDs based on multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA), and fundus photography. Full-field electroretinograms (ffERGs) and multifocal ERGs (mfERGs) were recorded to assess retinal function. The patient voluntarily discontinued follow-up but returned 16 years later due to cataract progression. Retinal morphology and function were re-evaluated using comparable multimodal imaging and electrophysiological methods.

Results

At the initial visit, multipl
