CASE REPORT: EARLY OCTA FINDINGS IN MULTIFOCAL CHOROIDITIS

Featuring: Lee M. Jampol, MD, and Rukhsana G. Mirza, MD
​
A 24-year-old woman diagnosed with idiopathic multifocal choroiditis complicated by chorioretinal atrophy experienced visual field changes and photopsias, with a comprehensive workup yielding negative results for systemic illnesses. Following treatment with systemic corticosteroids, her condition remained stable for two years. However, subsequent imaging with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) unveiled early changes that preceded clinical manifestations. This report emphasizes the role of advanced imaging techniques in monitoring multifocal choroiditis and their potential implications for patient management.
