Zusammenfassung
Beim „punctate inner choriodopathy“ (PIC)-Syndrom handelt sich um eine seltene Erkrankung, deren Ursprung entzündlicher Genese zu sein scheint. Die Behandlung richtet sich nach den Symptomen und dem Vorhandensein einer choroidalen Neovaskularisation (CNV). Im Falle einer CNV geht der „Trend“ zur Anti-VEGF-Therapie. Eine orale Therapie mit Steroiden kann initial versucht werden.
Abstract
Punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) is a rare disease which seems to have an inflammatory origin. Treatment is symptom-oriented and the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). If CNV is present the trend is towards the use of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) therapy. Oral therapy with steroids should be initially attempted.
