Abstract

Non-infectious focal choroiditis consist of a group of intraocular inflammatory disorders of unknown etiology characterized by multiple well-circumscribed white focal lesions located in the deep layers of the retina, RPE and choroid. Although it is suggested that all these are really the expresssion of a single entity, it is important to establish the correct diagnosis in order to determine the visual prognosis due to their wide spectrum. In this article, symptoms, signs and treatment of acute retinal pigment epithelitis, acute zonal occult external retinopathy, acute macular neuroretinopathy and ampiginous choroiditis are discussed.

Özet

Non-enfeksiyöz fokal koroiditler retinanın derin katları, RPE ve koroidde lokalize, çok sayıda iyi sınırlı, beyaz fokal lezyonlar ile karakterize etiyolojisi bilinmeyen bir grup intraoküler inflamatuar bozukluktan oluşmaktadır. Tek bir antitenin varyasyonları olabilecekleri düşünülse de, çok geniş bir spektrumda yer almaları nedeniyle görme prognozunu belirleyebilmek için doğru tanıyı koymak önemlidir. Bu makalede fokal koroiditlerden akut retinal pigment epitelitis, akut zonal okült dış retinopati, akut maküler nöroretinopati ve ampijinöz koroidittin semptom, bulguları ve tedavisi tartışılmıştır.
