Successful treatment of stellate multiform amelanotic choroidopathy with photodynamic therapy: A case report

Diagnosing and treating SMACH can be challenging. No effective treatment has been reported to date. We describe a case with focal leakage on ICGA successfully treated with full-dose PDT. We suggest full-dose PDT as the first-line treatment of SMACH with associated focal leakage on ICGA.

Abstract

Diagnosing and treating SMACH can be challenging. No effective treatment has been reported to date. We describe a case with focal leakage on ICGA successfully treated with full-dose PDT. We suggest full-dose PDT as the first-line treatment of SMACH with associated focal leakage on ICGA.
