Central serous chorioretinopathy with angioid streaks: a rare combination
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose: This rare case shows the presence of both angioid streaks (AS) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in the same eye. Methods: A 41-year-old Caucasian male who also has a positive family history of AS was diagnosed with angioid streaks. He was followed for few years, later developed CSC in his good eye. Results: Fundus fluorescein led to the diagnosis of CSC and indocyanine green angiography ruled out the possibility of idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (IPCV). The CSC followed a chronic course of non-resolution and finally half fluence photodynamic therapy was performed. Unfortunately, there was still some deterioration of vision with poor response. Conclusion: There is no known correlation between the two disorders and their presence in one eye has not been reported to our knowledge.

متن کاملAngioid streaks in beta thalassaemia minor.
We report what we believe to be the first recorded case of angioid streaks in a patient with beta thalassaemia minor. The occurrence of angioid streaks in a patient with a relatively normal iron balance and only very mild haemolysis may be explained by the combination of pregnancy with associated multiple transfusions in a myopic patient where an inherent defect in Bruch's membrane may exist.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the improvements of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) treated with topical dorzolamide. These observational case studies included nine eyes of the nine patients with CSC, treated by a physician with topical dorzolamide consecutively over a one-month period. The central macular thickness and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured...
