ABSTRACT
We reevaluate acute retinal pigment epitheliitis (ARPE) first described by Krill and Deutman in 1972, integrating a meticulous literature review with advanced multimodal imaging analyses. Our review included 98 eyes from 86 published cases diagnosed with ARPE. We scrutinized ARPE's clinical presentations, variability, and imaging characteristics, revealing that a large majority (90 %) of cases previously diagnosed as ARPE align more closely with other retinal disorders based on modern diagnostic criteria and imaging techniques. Only a small fraction (5 eyes) did not fit into any known categories, casting doubt on ARPE's distinct existence. This underscores the critical role of multimodal imaging in redefining our understanding of macular diseases and challenges the historical classification of ARPE as a unique clinical entity.
