Abstract
Unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM) is a rare disorder that has been linked with coxsackie virus. It was initially described by Yannuzzi et al. [1] in a series of 9 patients in 1991. A viral prodrome is common. We aim to add to the literature a case of challenging visual symptoms associated with resolved hand-footmouth disease, suggesting presumed UAIM.

Summary
Unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM) is a rare disorder that has been linked with coxsackie virus. We aim to add to the literature a case of challenging visual symptoms associated with resolved hand-footmouth disease, suggesting presumed UAIM. Two months prior to the onset of visual symptoms, the patient had had multiple erythematous vesicular lesions on the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet.
