Abstract
Case report

We report the case of a 28-year-old woman suffering from loss of visual acuity in her left eye, who presented an image suggestive of a subretinal neovascular membrane in her left eye, and bilateral retinal lesions compatible with punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC). She was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab obtaining excellent results.

Discussion

The differential diagnosis must be made between PIC and the rest of “white dot syndromes” and the presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (POHS). Antiangiogenic drugs may be a good alternative for the treatment of such diseases when they develop a subretinal neovascular membrane.

Keywords:
Punctate inner choroidopathy
Neovascular membrane
Fluorescein angiography
Angiogenesis inhibitors
Ranibizumab
Resumen
Caso clínico

Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 28 años con disminución de agudeza visual en ojo izquierdo (OI) que presentaba una imagen sugestiva de membrana neovascular subretiniana en OI y lesiones coriorretinianas bilaterales compatibles con coroidopatía punctata interna (PIC) que fue tratada con ranibizumab intravítreo, obteniendo excelentes resultados.

Discusión

Debe realizarse el diagnóstico diferencial de la PIC con el resto de «síndromes de puntos blancos» y con el síndrome de presunta histoplasmosis ocular (SPHO). Los fármacos anti-VEGF pueden ser una buena alternativa como tratamiento de este tipo de enfermedades cuando desarrollan una membrana neovascular subretiniana.
