Background And Objective: To study spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) characteristics in multifocal advanced dendritic serpiginous-like choroiditis (D-SLC) and placoid serpiginous-like choroiditis (P-SLC).
Patients And Methods: Retrospective, comparative study. SD-OCT features were studied in both the groups. Area of involvement (AoI) due to SLC lesions was calculated, and cases with comparable AoI from both the groups were subclassified into Group A (subgroup D-SLC) and Group B (subgroup P-SLC). Central choroidal thickness (CT) was measured, and comparative analysis was performed.
Results: Thirty-four eyes (15 D-SLC, 19 P-SLC) of 28 patients were studied. Mean AoI for Group A (n = 10) and for Group B (n = 12) was 197,066.50 units (range: 139,602 to 267,151 units) and 203,407.33 units (range: 148,156 to 285,048 units), respectively ( = .553). Mean central CT was 217.92 µm for DSLC and 152 µm for P-SLC ( = .01).
Conclusions: The choroid was significantly thinner at the resolution in P-SLC than in D-SLC form. P-SLC renders more choroidal destruction and may warrant aggressive treatment. .

Purpose: To analyze the clinical spectrum of patients with presumed tubercular uveitis in a referral eye clinic in Qatar.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 50 patients (80 eyes) diagnosed with presumed ocular tuberculosis who presented to the uveitis clinic, department of Ophthalmology Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar, from January 2014 till December 2019.
Results: Mean age at presentation was 34.

Purpose: To report a rare presentation of a proven case of infection presenting as multifocal choroiditis with recurrent choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in one eye, initially misdiagnosed as punctate inner choroidopathy and later developed serpiginous-like choroiditis in the other eye.
Methods: Retrospective case report with a review of existing literature.
Results: A 30-year-old women presented with metamorphopsia (OD) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 6/24 (OD) and was diagnosed to have punctate inner choroidopathy with CNVM (OD).
