HFMD-associated maculopahty is an uncommon but important differential diagnosis of chorioretinitis with macular involvement. The prognosis can be good and the initially observed morphological pathologies such as impaired perfusion of the choroidal vessels can recover spontaneously over a period lasting 12 months. OCT-A can be employed as a non-invasive tool to detect the reduced perfusion of the choroidal vessels and for monitoring the disease course.
