Photodynamic Therapy With Verteporfin for Choroidal Neovascularization in Patients with Angioid Streaks
PURPOSE To evaluate the functional and anatomic outcomes of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with angioid streaks. METHODS The authors retrospectively evaluated 6 consecutive patients (6 eyes) with CNV secondary to angioid streaks. All patients were treated with standard PDT with verteporfin protocol. Standardized protocol refraction, visual acuity...

متن کاملChoroidal neovascularization after blunt ocular trauma in angioid streaks
BACKGROUND Patients with angioid streaks are prone to develop a subretinal hemorrhage after ocular injury, due to fragility of Bruch's membrane. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to report a patient with angioid streaks in whom subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) developed after blunt ocular trauma. CASE REPORT A 60-year-old man was accidentally struck in the left eye with a ...
