Response of serous retinal pigment epithelial detachments to intravitreal aflibercept in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy refractory to ranibizumab
PURPOSE To report the effects of aflibercept on eyes with large retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) associted with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients with PEDs associated with PCV that were treated with aflibercept after intravitreal ranibizumab had failed. RESULTS Three eyes of patients aged 72, 79, and 80 years were studied...
متن کاملPolypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in exudative and haemorrhagic pigment epithelial detachments.
AIMS To determine the prevalence of polypoidal choroidopathy in consecutive patients presenting with large haemorrhagic and exudative neurosensory retinal and retinal pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) of over 2 mm in diameter in the absence of drusen. METHODS 40 patients were identified over a 5 month period of which 29 had haemorrhagic detachments, and 11 had purely exudative detachments...
متن کاملTime-Lag between Subretinal Fluid and Pigment Epithelial Detachment Reduction after Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy Treatment
PURPOSE The goal of the present research was to study post-treatment changes in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) shown by optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS The study included 12 patients with naive PCV. Photodynamic therapy and 3 consecutive intravitreal bevacizumab injections at 6-week intervals were given. Best corrected visual acuity, subretinal fluid (SRF), pigment epithe...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy secondary to choroidal nevus
We report a case of a Caucasian female who developed active polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) at the edge of a stable choroidal nevus and was successfully treated with verteporfin photodynamic therapy. No active polyp was detectable on indocyanine green angiography 2 years after treatment, and good vision was maintained. Indocyanine green angiography is a useful investigation to diagnose ...
متن کاملRapid Response Of Treatment Resistant Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy To Aflibercept Treatment
Polypoidal chorodial vasculopathy (PCV) is a disorder characterized by multiple, recurrent hemorrhagic exudative pigmented epithelium detachments (PED). It is controversial whether it is a distinct disorder, or a subtype of age related macular degeneration (AMD). When it was first described, it was thought to be an isolated choroidal vascular anomaly of posterior fundus. Lately it was defined a...
