Serpiginous choroiditis is a rare, chronic, progressive, and recurrent bilateral disorder primarily involving the choriocapillaris and the retinal pigment epithelium. Progression typically occurs as pseudopodia extensions away from the optic discs and usually infringes upon the macula and foveal region. We studied three cases of geographic choroidopathy, showing the ophthalmoscopic picture and the fluorescein angiographic of the fundus oculi, characterised by typical disease lesions. Finally, some considerations in differential diagnosis between pigment epithelium inflammatory diseases will be reported.
