Peripapillary Choroidal Neovascularization Associated with Optic Nerve Head Drusen Treated with Anti-VEGF Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optic nerve head drusen can be associated with peripapillary choroidal neovascularization, in both the pediatric and adult population. These membranes can involve the macula, causing significant visual loss. Herein, we present a case that required treatment with an anti-VEGF agent. The patient failed to respond to the initial agent, but subsequently responded to a change of agent. Adult patients with macular degeneration involving peripapillary choroidal neovascularization associated with optic nerve head drusen may require individualized treatment plans.

متن کاملGeographic Atrophy and Choroidal Neovascularization in the Same Eye: A Review.
Geographic atrophy (GA) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV), the two late forms of age-related macular degeneration, are generally considered two distinct entities. However, GA and CNV can occur simultaneously in the same eye, with GA usually occurring first. The prevalence of this combined entity is higher in histological studies than in clinical studies. No distinct systemic or genetic ris...
