Abstract:
Multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis(MCP) is a clinical syndrome characterized by vitritis, and punched-out fundus lesions mimicking presumed ocular histoplasmosis. We diagnosed MCP in a twenty-eight years old woman with the complaint of decreased vision and floater symptom. Retinochoroidal anastomosis via one of retinochoroidal scars was noted in this case. The patient was treated with oral and periocular steroid and ws observed for 11 months during which choroidal neovascularization and macular edema ws not developed. We present this case because, as far as our knowledge goes, There has been no reported case of MCP with retinochoroidal anastomosis.
