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.
