Intravitreal bevacizumab in a case of choroidal neovascularization associated with punctate inner choroidopathy

Abstract

Punctate inner choroidopathy is an idiopathic, inflammatory disorder that is characterized by yellowish white spots at the level of retina pigment epithelium and inner choroid. It is associated with a high incidence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Vision loss occurs mainly due to CNV development, and treatment options include systemic steroids, laser photocoagulation, interferon ?1?, and submacular surgery. We report a case of punctate inner choroidopathy and discuss the results of intravitreal bevacizumab treatment for CNV.
