Punctate inner choroidopathy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1322994548

Punctate inner choroiditis (PIC) is an inflammatory choroiditis which occurs mainly in young females. Symptoms include blurred vision and scotomas. PIC does not tend to recur in patients. Gary-white or yellow lesions are mainly present in the posterior pole and are between 100 to 300 micrometres in size. PIC is one of the so-called White dot syndromes which come under the heading posterior uveitis. The appearance of punctate (punched out) areas is at the level of the inner choroid. These lesions are typically located centrally at the back of the eye (posterior pole).
