Purpose:The purpose of this work is to describe a case of punctate inner choroidopathy after the spontaneous abortion of a pregnancy at 11 weeks.Methods: Case report.Results:We report the case of a 30-year-old myopic woman who presented with loss of visual acuityand distortion in the right eye (OD) for 5 days; shewas diagnosed with CNV associated with PIC.Conclusion:This case report demonstrates a long-lasting favorable therapeutic effect when using afliberceptfor CNV associated with PIC, with remission of the lesion and improvement of visual outcomes after 2 injections. This case is interesting because this disease occurred immediately after spontaneous abortion during pregnancy, which suggests that disorders of the genitourinary tract may be associated with eye diseases
