  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 16-year-old female presented with upper visual field defect in her left eye since 2 months before. Her corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in either eye. Her left eye showed slight vitreous opacity and narrowing of nasal inferior retinal arteries. Perimetry showed enlarged blind spot and visual field defect in the temporal to nasal superior sector. Findings by fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography were inconspicuous. Electroretinography and electrooculography showed reduced responses. These findings led to the diagnosis of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR). Systemic corticosteroid in massive dosis induced improved symptoms the next day. The absolute scotorna disappeared after 37 days of treatment. This case illustrates that systemic corticosteroid may be effective for AZOOR.
