Various phases of malingering (les gueux contrefaits) are represented in the etchings and engravings of Jacques Callot (1592–1635).In his Elizabethan-era social-climbing manual, George Puttenham recommends a would-be courtier to have "sickness in his sleeve, thereby to shake off other importunities of greater consequence". Modern period
Lady Flora Hastings was accused of adultery following court gossip about her abdominal pain. She refused to be physically examined by a man for reasons of modesty and so the physician assumed she was pregnant. She later died of liver cancer.In 1943, US Army General George S. Patton found a soldier in a field hospital with no wounds; the soldier claimed to be suffering from battle fatigue. Believing the patient was malingering, Patton flew into a rage and physically assaulted him. The patient had  malarial parasites.Agnes Torres was the first subject of an in-depth discussion of transgender identity in sociology, published by Harold Garfinkel in 1967. In the 1950s, Torres feigned symptoms and lied about almost every aspect of her medical history. Garfinkel concluded that fearing she would be denied access to sexual reassignment surgery, she had avoided every aspect of her case which would have indicated gender dysphoria and hidden the fact that she had taken hormone therapy. Physicians observing her feminine appearance therefore concluded she had testicular feminization syndrome, which legitimized her request for the surgery. Society and culture
Malingering is a court-martial offense in the United States military under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which defines the term as "feign[ing] illness, physical disablement, mental lapse, or derangement.
In weeks to a month times the lesions begin to clear and disappear (with prednisone) leaving behind areas of retinal pigment epithelial atrophy and diffuse fine pigmentation (scarring). Rarely choroidal neovascularization occur as a late onset complication. Cause
Since The cause of the inflammation remains unknown, with various theories of it occurring as an autoimmune response to a mild infection, or the possibility of it being viral because of the preceding flu-like illness that generally accompanies it. It is usually associated with HLA-B7 and HLA-DR2. The underlying etiology of APMPPE continues to cause debate. The term Pigment Epitheliopathy was chosen by Gass to reflect what he thought was the tissue most significantly affected. Van Buskirk et al., and Deutman et al. proposed choriocapillaris ischemia as the more likely primary etiology. Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and OCT angiography (OCTA) studies have provided support for choriocapillaris involvement. However, a novel hypothesis has recently been proposed implicating a direct neurotropic infection as a possible underlying cause given the dynamic changes observed along the neuronal pathway of the retina

Diagnosis
Diagnosis is usually made on clinical appearance alone on fundoscopy and/or retinal imaging. Supplementary tests such as Optical coherence tomography(OCT) and fundus fluorescein angiography/Indocyanine angiography together with OCT-Angiography are commonly performed to help aid diagnosis and monitoring. Treatment
Owing to the self-limiting nature of the disease, treatment is generally not required. In cases where lesions appear to be interfering with the optic nerve, methyl prednisone is prescribed. Prognosis
Vision improves in almost all cases.
