Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to describe a case of punctate inner choroidopathy after the spontaneous abortion of a pregnancy at 11 weeks.

Methods: Case report.

Results: We report the case of a 30-year-old myopic woman who presented with loss of visual acuity and distortion in the right eye (OD) for 5 days; she was diagnosed with CNV associated with PIC.

Conclusion: This case report demonstrates a long-lasting favorable therapeutic effect when using aflibercept for CNV associated with PIC, with remission of the lesion and improvement of visual outcomes after 2 injections. This case is interesting because this disease occurred immediately after spontaneous abortion during pregnancy, which suggests that disorders of the genitourinary tract may be associated with eye diseases.
