Editor’s note: This was a retrospective, observational case-series involving six patients aged 50–68 years who exhibited a similar macular presentation to serpiginous choroiditis but had a different clinical course to patients with that condition. Specifically, their vision remained good, despite involvement of the fovea, up until the occurrence of choroidal neovascularization or pigmentary mottling. Fluorescein angiography showed hyperfluorescence, which persisted, and white macular lesions, which faded over a period of months to years. No subretinal scarring was present until choroidal neovascularization occurred, which is in contrast to the usual course of serpiginous choroiditis.
