Punctate inner choroidopathy is an idiopathic, inflammatory disorder that is characterized by yellowish white spots at the level of retina pigment epithelium and inner choroid. It is associated with a high incidence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Vision loss occurs mainly due to CNV development, and treatment options include systemic steroids, laser photocoagulation, interferon β1α, and submacular surgery. We report a case of punctate inner choroidopathy and discuss the results of intravitreal bevacizumab treatment for CNV.
