New treatments for serpiginous choroiditis.

Serpiginous choroiditis is a bilateral, inflammatory condition of the inner choroid and overlying retinal pigment epithelium with a distinctive retinal distribution.

This article reviews the recent ophthalmic literature published on the management of serpiginous choroiditis.
