Abstract
Ampiginous choroiditis is a rare inflammatory disease that progressively alters the chorio-capillary, pigmented epithelium (PE) and neurosensory retina. We report the case of a 43-year-old patient with decreased visual acuity at finger count (CF) in both eyes, with multiple yellowish-white lesions of varying size, mostly in the peri-papillary region.
Highlights
Ampiginous choroiditis is a rare, inflammatory disease that appears to be related to localized choroidal ischemia
This condition progressively alters the chorio-capillary, the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and the neurosensory retina, often resulting in a very low visual acuity.Its management remains poorly defined until today
We report the case of a 43-year-old patient, with no significant medical history, who consults for a gradual decrease in visual acuity in both eyes, without redness, pain or photophobia
