Abstract

This article reports the case of a 35-year-old male patient with acute hand, foot and mouth disease and unilateral viral maculopathy of the right eye. In the course of 2 years an improvement of the subjective symptoms with a corresponding decrease of the findings in multimodal imaging could be observed. This case report demonstrates that acute maculopathy associated with hand, foot and mouth disease is a rare but relevant differential diagnosis with mostly good regression of symptoms and findings.
