RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Subretinal and disc neovascularisation in serpiginous choroiditis. JF British Journal of Ophthalmology JO Br J Ophthalmol FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. SP 326 OP 331 DO 10.1136/bjo.66.5.326 VO 66 IS 5 A1 L Laatikainen A1 H Erkkilä YR 1982 UL http://bjo.bmj.com/content/66/5/326.abstract AB Three out of 15 patients with serpiginous choroiditis who have been followed up for 1 to 10 years (mean 4.9 years) developed subretinal neovascularisation in the macula. In one eye new vessels were treated with argon laser without attaining permanent obliteration, in the second eye the neovascular membrane was regarded as untreatable because it was under the fovea, and in the third eye new vessels became obliterated spontaneously after atrophy of the surrounding choriocapillaris and the pigment epithelium of the retina. In a furth patient disc new vessels were seen at the active stage of serpiginous choroiditis; these new vessels disappeared after scarring of the initial chorioretinal lesions.
