ABSTRACT
Punctate inner choroidopathy is a clinical disorder of unknown etiology that affects the retinal pigment epithelium and inner choroid resulting in visual loss. Punctate inner choroidopathy is characterized by multiple tiny punctate yellowish-white lesions in the deep retina of posterior pole. There is often an associated serous retinal detachment and subretinal neovascular membrane. The lesions are characterized by small punctate hyperfluorescent in the early phase and leak or stain in the late phase by fluorescein angiography. The authors experienced a case of suspected punctate inner choroidopathy associated with decreased visual acuity in a 24 year-old female and reviewed the available literatures regrading the disease.
