title: New treatments for serpiginous choroiditis.
abstract: Serpiginous choroiditis is a bilateral, inflammatory condition of the inner choroid and overlying retinal pigment epithelium with a distinctive retinal distribution. Although rare, serpiginous choroiditis deserves attention because it can lead to permanent loss of vision due to foveal involvement by inflammation or choroidal neovascularization from frequent recurrences. This article reviews the recent ophthalmic literature published on the management of serpiginous choroiditis.
