A number of uveitic entities may be complicated by the development of choroidal neovascularization leading to a decrease in central visual acuity. In conditions such as punctate inner choroidopathy, development of choroidal neovascularization is extremely common and must be suspected in all cases. On the other hand, in patients with conditions such as serpiginous choroiditis, and multifocal choroiditis, it may be difficult to differentiate between inflammatory choroiditis lesions and choroidal neovascularization. Multimodal imaging analysis, including the recently introduced technology of optical coherence tomography angiography, greatly aid in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory choroidal neovascularization. Management of these neovascular membranes consists of anti-vascular growth factor agents, with or without concomitant anti-inflammatory and/or corticosteroid therapy.}, issn = {1869-5760}, doi = {10.1186/s12348-018-0155-6}, author = {Agarwal, Aniruddha and Invernizzi, Alessandro and Singh, Rohan Bir and Foulsham, William and Aggarwal, Kanika and Handa, Sabia and Agrawal, Rupesh and Pavesio, Carlos and Gupta, Vishali} }
