Abstract EN
Purpose.
To report a case of bilateral punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC).
Case Report.
A 26-year-old Caucasian woman presented with bilateral blurred vision with one year of evolution.
There was no relevant systemic disease or family history.
Best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 20/30 and in the left eye was 20/20; there was no clinically significant refractive error.
Fundoscopy evidenced multiple, small, round, yellow-white lesions limited to the posterior pole of both eyes, with greater macular involvement in the RE.
There were no signs of inflammation in the anterior chamber or vitreous cavity.
Fluorescein angiography revealed the presence of multiple hyperfluorescent lesions more evident in the later stages of the angiogram in both eyes.
On indocyanine green angiography, these lesions appeared hypofluorescent in both early and late phases.
Optical coherence tomography showed the presence of focal elevations of the retinal pigment epithelium with underlying hyporeflective space, bilaterally.
Laboratory and imaging evaluation for evidence of autoimmune and infectious diseases were negative.
Conclusion.
The PIC is a relatively uncommon condition.
In this report, an attempt has been made to describe a classic clinic presentation of this disease in a young and female patient.
