Pachychoroid disease mimicking pattern dystrophy

Abstract

We report a case of pachychoroid disease with bilateral vitelliform lesions simulating pattern dystrophy. One eye showed spontaneous resolution of the deposits, while the other eye demonstrated recurrent deposition with onset of choroidal neovascular membrane over a 3-year follow-up. The purpose of this manuscript is to highlight the importance of multimodal imaging which would help us to differentiate mimics of pattern dystrophy.
