title: Clinical course of multifocal choroiditis: photographic and angiographic evidence of disease recurrence.
abstract: Multifocal choroiditis is a syndrome that simulates the presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome but, in addition, includes vitritis and anterior uveitis. Because of its relatively recent acceptance as a distinct clinical entity, there is little information available on the long-term natural history of this condition. We managed three cases of multifocal choroiditis with recurrent active inflammation. Two patients had new peripheral chorioretinal lesions in previously normal retina, and the other had both peripheral chorioretinal scars and new swelling of the disc.
