Multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis (MCP) is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, affecting the choroid, retina, and vitreous of the eye that presents asymmetrically, most often in young myopic women with photopsias, enlargement of the physiologic blind spot and decreased vision.
A test called flourescein angiography uses a special dye and camera to study blood flow in the back layers of the eye.
When a person has multifocal choroiditis (MFC), lesions in the eye will appear as fluorescent spots.
Often, doctors may order blood tests to check if the symptoms are caused by a viral disease rather than MFC.
The low dose of steroids can help decrease inflammation, and as a result, lessens the visual impairment.
