The natural history of non-disciform ocular histoplasmosis.

Nineteen of 21 asymptomatic individuals with non-disciform atrophic chorioretinal scars characteristics of the ocular histoplasmosis syndrome and identified in the Walkersville survey were re-examined three years later. During this period, of six subjects with peripapillary scars, one developed symptomatic serous detachment of the peripapillary retina; none of the three with macular or paramacular scars showed any change. Several peripheral scars showed increased pigmentation and others definite enlargement. One patient developed two new atrophic scars.
