    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Altinisik M.; Delibay Y.; Erdogan M.
    Purpose: To describe an atypical presentation of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) receiving secukinumab. Methods: Retrospective chart review. Results: A 48-year-old female patient with AS receiving secukinumab complained of impaired vision in her left eye. Left eye examination revealed multiple yellow-white lesions at the posterior pole and central subfoveal fluid.The lesions regressed without scarring. The case was diagnosed with clinically APMPPE. Conclusion: In AS patients, posterior uveitis can manifest as APMPPE. It should be recorded as an entity to be considered in the differential diagnosis. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
