uveitis

The findings of bullous CSCR may be confused with uveal effusion, metastatic carcinoma or lymphoma, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and diseases that cause inflammation such as VKH disease, multifocal choroiditis, and sympathetic ophthalmia, and misdiagnosis results in unnecessary tests and treatments.

Multifocal serpiginoid choroiditis (MSC) is an uncommon clinical entity from the group of infectious choroiditis, which is characterized by sectoral nonperfusion of choriocapillaris with subsequent ischemia and dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells of the outer retina(1,2).

2) Choroiditis, retinal vasculitis, optic neuritis, episcleral nodules, and exudative retinal detachment are other rare ocular complications that have been reported in the literature.

On the other hand, the deep lesions include; a) Drusen, b) retinal pigment epithelial hyperplasia, c) intraretinal and subretinal neovascular membranes, d) scarring following choroiditis, e) trauma or laser treatment, and f) hyperpigmented choroidal nevi.

Furthermore, Gabrielian and Hariprasad (8) described an immunocompetent patient with treated and stable nonocular disseminated coccidioidomycosis who showed development of new vitritis and choroiditis 8 weeks into high-dose fluconazole therapy; his intraocular disease resolved within 2-4 weeks of transition to voriconazole.
