Abstract
A 32-year-old woman presented with the acute onset of a small scotoma in the right visual field. She was initially thought to have optic neuritis, but brain magnetic resonance imaging was normal. A review of her symptoms and medications disclosed recent use of oral contraceptives. Near-infrared imaging was the only objective abnormality, consistent with her Amsler grid changes, leading to the diagnosis of acute macular neuroretinopathy.
