Acute retinal epithelitis: uncommon symptoms in a clinical case

CASE REPORT: We describe an acute retinal pigment epithelitis (A.R.P.E) case in a young woman who noticed an acute decreased vision and color vision defects. The patient was treated with systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with recovery of visual acuity to normal in three weeks. DISCUSSION: We highlight the debut with important decrease of visual acuity at levels that are not common in this illness. The disturbance in color vision is a rare symptom. The visual acuity recovery in a short period of time is what usually happens, and in this case it is just three weeks, not knowing how it relates to NSAID.
