Unilateral Punctate inner choroidopathy with choroidal neovascular membrane in a young male.

ABSTRACT

Punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC), first described by Watzke et al., in 1984, is a disease of young, relatively healthy, myopic women characterized by small yellow‑white lesions of the inner choroid and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).[1] The chorioretinal lesions seen in PIC tend to be small and acutely no larger than 500 μm. Acute lesions heals to atrophic scars and develop more pigmentation with time. Choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) develops in more than half of these individuals. We describe a case of PIC occurring in a young adult male with CNVM. The clinical characteristics, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) findings are described.
