Preretinal neovascularisation associated with choroidal melanoma

Preretinal neovascularisation associated with choroidal melanoma.

BACKGROUND The rare occurrence of iris neovascularisation and choroidal (subretinal) neovascularisation in patients with choroidal melanoma has been reported. However, the occurrence of preretinal neovascularisation (NVE) fed from the retinal circulation in eyes with choroidal melanoma is far less frequently reported. METHODS Three case reports of choroidal melanoma with the very rare finding...

Combination therapy for choroidal neovascularisation.

Choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) often leads to severe vision loss and is becoming increasingly prevalent as the aging population grows. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of CNV, but CNV also affects younger people with pathological myopia, ocular histoplasmosis syndrome, angioid streaks and idiopathic disorders. The monotherapies available worldwide to treat pat...

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Choroidal Neovascularisation

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new promising technique able to provide a rapid, dyeless and non-invasive three-dimensional reconstruction of perfused vessels of retina and choroid. OCTA has been recently added to the diagnostic tools of retinal experts, and its role is still being explored in different retinal diseases. Chorodial neovascularisations (CNVs) are among the mo...

Neovascularisation associated with posterior uveitis.

Twenty-six patients (39 eyes) with retinal neovascularisation associated with ocular inflammation were identified from the retinal vasculitis clinic at St Thomas's Hospital. Eight patients had sarcoidosis, seven patients Behçet's disease, and 11 had idiopathic retinal vasculitis. Twenty-three patients had required systemic therapy to control the inflammation and 11 patients received laser photo...
