Treatment of Posterior Uveitis in Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) represents a specific clinical presentation within posterior uveitis. Treatment decisions in this setting are shaped by the potential for systemic involvement, particularly cerebral vasculitis, which significantly affects the urgency and intensity of management.

This protocol addresses posterior uveitis occurring in the context of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy. When cerebral vasculitis is present alongside this condition, it becomes a primary driver of the therapeutic strategy.

The management of this condition involves corticosteroid-based therapy. In cases where cerebral vasculitis is also present, additional cytotoxic agents may be required — though the full regimen, sequencing, and clinical decision criteria are covered in the complete protocol.
