Abstract
Three patients with Leber's idiopathic stellate retinopathy-a 16-year-old girl, a 26-year-old man, and a 7-year-old girl-also had acute multifocal chorioretinitis. The second patient also had an associated idiopathic peripheral seventh nerve palsy. Extensive neurologic testing and viral cultures gave no explanation of the origin of the retinopathy. However, each of the patients had had an upper respiratory or gastrointestinal illness shortly before the onset of the condition, suggesting an infectious origin. In all three patients the optic disk swelling resolved spontaneously and the stellate exudate gradually faded.
