Abstract
The macular disorders are classified according to the originally affected layer and the probable cause of the disease: presumed inflammatory or traumatic, iatrogenic, toxic, metabolic or trophic, and hereditary. Three young female patients are reported who had presumed inflammatory diseases: CBPE-complex (APMPPE), pigment epithelium (pigment epitheliitis), and neuroretina (acute macular neuroretinopathy). APMPPE is considered to be a choriocapillaritis closely related to a soft photocoagulate. They recommend careful follow-up of acute neuroretinopathy because through "disuse" a disease of one layer may progress to other layers as they are metabolically interdependent.
