Ocular involvement is common in 30%--100% of these patients like hypertensive retinopathy, exudative retinal detachment, vitreous haemorrhage, retinal haemorrhage, ischaemic optic neuropathy and hypertensive
choroidopathy.
A third patient with Serpiginous
Choroidopathy improved from 20/80- to 20/60+1 in the right eye and from 20/50- to 20/20-3 in their left eye with increases in OCT, suggesting value in considering BMSC for atrophic retinal conditions.
It is important to note that other HIV-associated infectious causes of a retinitis such as varicella zoster virus, Toxoplasma gondii and
choroidopathy caused by Pneumocystis carinii, should be excluded.
An unusual manifestation of idiopathic central serous
choroidopathy.
c) This technique is helpful in confirming multifocal choroiditis and punctate inner
choroidopathyVisual disturbances during pregnancy caused by central serous
choroidopathy.
Many clinical studies [sup][5],[6],[7] showed that CA has multifunctions for treating ischemic optic neuropathy, retinopathy,
choroidopathy, and so on.
Alison was nally diagnosed with Punctate Inner
Choroidopathy (PIC) after consulting experts at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The differential diagnosis in leukemic patients with exudative retinal detachment includes central serous
choroidopathy, uveal effusion syndrome, choroidal neovascularization, Harada's syndrome, congenital optic disc pits.
Celiac disease and geographic (serpiginous)
choroidopathy with occurrence of thrombocytopenic purpura.
Furthermore, punctate inner
choroidopathy, pathologic myopia, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and other causes of chorioretinitis may be considered.
Five of the most common causes are exudative macular degeneration, high/ pathological myopia, choroidal rupture, angioid streaks, and punctate inner
choroidopathy.
