Objective To investigate the clinical features of multifocal choroiditis (MC) and guide the diagnosis and treatment. Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 18 MC cases (28 eyes) who were diagnosed through fluorescein angiography (FFA) or indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and fundus characteristics. Results Multiple round to oval lesions scattered throughout the posterior pole and peripheral areas of ocular fundi of all of the 28 eyes(binocular in 10 and monocular in 8) were found. Active focal lesions of ocular fundi were seen in 8 patients and inactive lesions in 10 patients. active and 10 cases were inactive. Choroidal neovascularization(CNV) in macular area was found in 7 patients. The images of FFA of the legions showed hypofluorescence in the early phase, with late leakage and gradual staining or window is defect in the late phase. Conclusions MC is a rare disease and often misdiagnosed to other disease and FFA helpful in diagnosis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2005, 21: 367-370)
