“…The disease recurs repeatedly, and new lesions appear at the edge of old lesions, showing a geographic pattern and spiral expansion [11] . Choroidal neovascularization can occur in 25% of patients, and neovascularization often occurs at the edge of choroidal retinal atrophy, which is also an important cause of vision loss in advanced patients [12][13][14] .…”

Purpose To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment experience of a group of patients with syphilitic choroidal retinitis. Method Selected 3 patients with syphilitic choroidal retinitis and 2 patients with choroidal retinopathy with similar fundus changes, carefully asking the history, general and specialized examination, such as the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp, binocular indirect ophthalmoscope, fundus photography, autofluorescence (AF), FFA, macular OCT and other auxiliary examinations, and blood routine examiniation, ESR, hypersensitive c-reactive protein, laboratory test of blood transfusion were completed. Results Correct diagnosis was made and good therapeutic effect was obtained in all the 5 patients ConclusionsThe manifestation of syphilitic choroidal retinitis is complicated. Only by asking the medical history carefully, perfecting the whole body and various specialized examinations and auxiliary examinations, can we make the correct diagnosis and treatment.

“…Serpiginous choroiditis (SC), is a rare clinical entity characterized by irreversible damage primarily to the choriocapillaries and secondarily to the retinal pigment epithelium, the rest of the choroid, and the outer retina. 1 , 2 Lesions typically appear in the peripapillary area, but may extend to the macula as well. 2 The most common complication of SC is the development of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV), which occurs in 10-35% of all cases.…”

Serpiginous choroiditis (SC) is a rare, chronic, recurrent, progressive disease of unknown origin. The inflammatory process of SC can disrupt Bruch’s membrane, allowing occasional choroidal vascular growth, leading to significant visual loss even in the healed stages of the disease. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) can help in the detection of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV), leading to a definitive diagnosis and thereby guide the initiation of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment. We report herein two cases of SC complicated with a CNV detected with OCTA and treated with a series of anti-VEGF injections.
