Punctate inner choroidopathy: resolution after oral steroid treatment and review of the literature Levy J; Shneck M; Klemperer I; Lifshitz TCan J Ophthalmol 2005[Oct]; 40 (5): 605-8CASE REPORT: A case of punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) that resolved after oral steroid treatment is described. The 25-year-old female patient presented with reduced visual acuity of several days duration. Results of fundus examination, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography were consistent with PIC with a small choroidal neovascularization lesion nasal to the fovea. Visual acuity improved significantly after several days on oral steroid treatment. COMMENTS: Although spontaneous resolution of the lesions can occur without any treatment, oral steroids in PIC may help achieve improved vision more rapidly. The clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis, and therapeutic modalities of this rare entity are discussed.|Administration, Oral[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Choroid Diseases/diagnosis/*drug therapy[MESH]|Choroidal Neovascularization/drug therapy[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Fluorescein Angiography[MESH]|Glucocorticoids/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Indocyanine Green[MESH]|Prednisone/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Visual Acuity[MESH] |
