@#Punctate inner choroidopathy(PIC)is an infrequent idiopathic chorioretinopathy, frequently affecting young myopic women. There are multiple, small, round, yellow-white or gray punctate lesions in the retinal pigment epithelium and the choroidal lining, in the absence of anterior ocular segment or the vitreous body inflammation. In general, most patients have good prognosis and a few patients will be caused severe vision loss if complicated by choroidal neovascularization(CNV)and subretinal fibrosis. This article reviews the etiology, pathogensis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis and treatment of PIC.
