Presentation
Abstract Purpose: To describe the case of a patient presenting with persistent placoid maculopathy imaged with optical coherence tomography angiography. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We suspect a RP as the patient presents 3 of the 6 criteria according to Adam et al. [silo.tips]
In contrast to patients with macular serpiginous choroiditis presenting with similar lesions, the five patients reported so far with persistent placoid maculopathy had good visual acuity until the onset of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) or pigmentary [orpha.net]
Neurologic
- Headache
She also referred ear and headache, tinnitus and isolated joint inflammation on her left knee. [silo.tips]
Treatment
In cases with poor response to treatment and the presence of confusing factors, we consider important the early treatment associating corticoids, immunosuppressive and biological therapy. [silo.tips]

Etiology
We rejected the most common etiology causes, so we think of RP as the main cause. [silo.tips]
