We report a case of peripapillary acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) in a 43-year-old woman. Fundus photographs showed no specific abnormal findings, while blue-light fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging revealed well-defined hyperfluorescent areas in the peripapillary region, excluding the macula. The ellipsoid zone (EZ) was absent on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of this area. Visual field testing with Goldmann perimetry showed blind spot enlargement and multifocal electroretinogram showed corresponding amplitude reductions. Three months after the initial visit, the EZ had reappeared and both FAF and visual field had improved. FAF together with OCT may be useful in the evaluation and monitoring of AZOOR.
