Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy primarily occurs in adults (with a mean age of 27). [1] Symptoms include blurred vision in both eyes, but the onset may occur at a different time in each eye. There are yellow-white placoid lesions in the posterior pole at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. Some suggest a ...
Serpiginous choroiditis, also known as geographic helicoid peripapillary choroidopathy (GHPC), is a rare, chronic, progressive, and recurrent bilateral inflammatory disease involving the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the choriocapillaries, and the choroid. [1] It affects adult men and women equally in the second to seventh decades of life. [2]
The etiology of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome is currently unknown but two potential origins have been postulated. Gass, et. al. suggests a virus invades retinal photoreceptors through cell-to-cell transmission via either the ora serrata or optic disc margin. [3]
Serpiginous, first known to be used in the 15th century, is a term from Latin serpere (“to creep”), usually referring to a creeping, snakelike or slowly progressive skin disease. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
Punctate inner choroiditis (PIC) is an inflammatory choroiditis which occurs mainly in young women. Symptoms include blurred vision and scotomata. Yellow lesions are mainly present in the posterior pole and are between 100 and 300 micrometres in size. PIC is one of the so-called White Dot Syndromes.
[4] [5] According to typical descriptions, angioma serpiginosum has an erythematous backdrop with a purple to coppery-red punctate look that clusters together in serpiginous or gyrate patterns. [ 3 ] It is often observed that the illness progresses gradually, starting as little asymptomatic lesions that expand and coalesce with central clearing ...

Multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis (MCP) is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, affecting the choroid, retina, and vitreous of the eye that presents asymmetrically, most often in young myopic women with photopsias, enlargement of the physiologic blind spot and decreased vision.
