Atypical presentation of macular serpiginous choroiditis masquerading as age related macular degeneration
Placoid disorders can masquerade as AMD. We present an unusual case of macular serpiginous choroiditis with new onset drusenoid lesions driven by inner choroidal ischemia on OCTA and with resolution following IMT. OCTA can be an invaluable tool to correctly diagnose placoid conditions which is essential to guide therapeutic considerations.
