This is characterised by the eponymous visual field loss in the blind spot area, acute onset photopsia, and funduscopically little or no change in the optic disc area, with conspicuous outer retinal bands on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Typical is the unilateral occurrence. Predominantly young women are affected. While previous reviews of AIBSES either predate the introduction of OCT or focus on differentiation from potentially related outer retinal conditions (e.g., multiple evanescent white dot syndrome and acute zonal occult outer retinopathy), the present review will concentrate on the current perspective and treatment strategies that have been developed and will aim to help increase awareness. Since the first description of AIBSES in the late 1980s, the introduction of OCT has simplified the diagnosis and characterisation of AIBSES as a disease of the outer retina. Nevertheless, misdiagnosis remains common in the spectrum of optic neuritis, as AIBSES may be ignored in differential diagnosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":17904,"journal":{"name":"Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde","volume":" ","pages":"1032-1038"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10552776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, regular imaging using high-resolution modalities in a standardised and reproducible manner generates immense amounts of data that can hardly be processed by human experts. In addition, ophthalmology is constantly experiencing new developments and breakthroughs that require a re-evaluation of patient management in routine clinical practice. AI is able to analyse these volumes of data efficiently and objectively and also provide new insights into disease progression and therapeutic mechanisms by identifying relevant biomarkers.
