title: [Punctate inner choroidopathy - Improvement in vision after anti-VEGF and photodynamic therapy. An 18-month follow-up control].
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.
