متن کاملAngioid Streaks in Psuedoxanthoma Elasticum
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a hereditary disorder that affects primarily the elastic tissues of skin, eyes and blood vessels. Its estimated prevalence is thought to be 1:25,000 100,000. PXE patients also carry an increased risk for cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases. Early diagnosis can play a crucial role in preventing early loss of vision and systemic complications in these pa...
متن کاملIntravitreal injection of bevacizumab for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization in a patient with angioid streaks.
We report the favorable outcome of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (Avastin) to treat choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) secondary to angioid streaks in an 82-year-old Chinese man. Within 2 weeks of bevacizumab injection, visual acuity improved from 20/40 to 20/25 and optical coherence tomography revealed complete resolution of CNV and retinal edema. The juxtafoveal hemorrhage nearly disa...
