Choroidal neovascularization after blunt ocular trauma in angioid streaks

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 ...
متن کامل[Subretinal neovascular membrane in angioid streaks treated with intravitreal bevacizumab].
INTRODUCTION Angioid streaks are breaks in Bruch's membrane that may be associated, among others, with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Its most common complication is the development of subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM) and the decreased vision this entails. CASE REPORT A 28 year old woman with angioid streaks and SRNVM in the left eye, who received 3 injections of intravitreal bevacizumab, ...
متن کاملVisual loss associated with angioid streaks in sickle thalassemia.

The development of AS in hemoglobinopathies is not a novel observation, as it has been reported in sickle-cell disease since the late 1950s. Despite however the frequent presence of AS in t...
متن کاملAngioid streaks and elastorrhexis.
ANGIOID streaks are thought to be due to breaks in the elastic lamina of Bruch's membrane. Ophthalmoscopically they present a jagged peripapillary ring which may be incomplete and from which radiate irregular spokes of width similar to retinal vessels. With time, they may progress, or become less distinct. Their colour varies from reddish-brown to dark brown according to the density of the over...
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...
