It usually occurs in 30 to 60-year-old healthy myopic females. Most cases are bilateral or become bilateral over time.<\/p>\n

Fundoscopic findings include small, round, discrete and gray-yellowish spots located at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris, most often in the mid-periphery. As these lesions age and become inactive, they become atrophic and \u201cpunched-out\u201d.<\/p>\n

Patients may have variable amounts of anterior segment inflammation and vitritis.<\/p>\n

Peripapillary and macular choroidal neovascularization may occur in 25-32 % of the patients.<\/p>\n
