Progressive subretinal fibrosis and multifocal granulomatous chorioretinitis

Abstract: We describe a case of progressive subretinal fibrosis and multifocal chorioretinitis along with its findings on both fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography. The progressive subretinal fibrosis syndrome is a severe subset of multifocal choroiditis. The clustering of lesions around the nerve optic head may mean that the disease is spread through the flow in and out of the eye around the optic nerve.

“…The optimal treatment of PSFU is unknown, with various immunomodulatory strategies described in the literature, including high-dose oral steroids,1 immunosuppression including cyclophosphamide, ciclosporin and azathioprine,4 8 and, recently, biological therapy with infliximab9 and rituximab 7. Despite potent immunosuppression, PSFU can blind 10.…”

“…Tal fato deve-se à formação de extensas placas fibróticas no polo posterior, trazendo grande desarranjo estrutural da anatomia retiniana nessa região. A localização peripapilar da lesão, sugerindo alguma associação com a cabeça do nervo óptico é uma característica também já relatada (9) . Os achados observados nestes casos são compatíveis com outros relatos na literatura dessa síndrome.…”
