Unusual findings in serpiginous choroiditis.

Retinal pigment epithelial detachment and optic disk neovascularization developed in two men, 51 and 49 years old, who had serpiginous choroiditis. Fluorescein angiograms demonstrated loss of pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris in the late stages in both cases. Both men sustained permanent visual loss. In one case the final visual acuity of the affected eye was 20/200. In the second case the final visual acuity was R.E.: counting fingers at 4 feet and L.E.: 20/70.
