Acute idiopathic maculopathy (AIM) is an exudative maculopathy characterized by acute onset, central vision loss. AIM was first described ... in a case series of [nine] young adult patients (average age 32 years) with severe unilateral central vision loss, many with a documented prodromal flu-like illness. Characteristic exam findings of affected eyes in this case series included irregular exudative macular detachment overlying an area of sub-retinal thickening at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). 2, record 1, English, - acute%20idiopathic%20maculopathy
