description We present the case of a 49-year-old patient who was treated with Aripriprazole in context of Paranoid Schizophrenia. The patient had a history of numerous Panuveitis recurrences for the left eye, which led to a marked decrease of the vision VA-NLP and was diagnosed with Multifocal Choroiditis and Panuveitis for the right eye. The examination revealed VA of 20/ 200 for right eye, keratic precipitates, and vitritis. Fundus aspect of the right eye showed multiple discrete, ovoid, yellowish-grey lesions at the posterior pole and periphery, optic disc oedema was present. The Human leukocyte antigen typing of group A, ancillary investigation (OCT, Angiofluorography, B-mode ultrasonography) and fundus examination confirmed the diagnosis of Multifocal Choroiditis and Panuveitis but we did not exclude antipsychotic-related chorioretinopathy or a Birdshot-like Syndrome.
