Abstract
Acute retinal pigment epitheliitis (Krill’s disease) is a rare idiopathic self-limiting inflammatory macular disease. The article presents the results of multimodal dynamic imaging in 2 patients with acute retinal pigment epitheliitis, including, for the first time ever, the results of optical coherence tomography-angiography, suggesting the pathogenetic significance of changes in perfusion in the choriocapillaris for the development of this disease.
