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, ...

CLINICAL CASE A patient had bilateral angioid streaks complicated by cicatricial degeneration in the left eye and subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in the right eye. Photodynamic therapy resulted in a favorable response with normalization of the visual acuity and angiographic resolution of the lesions. DISCUSSION The most serious complication of angioid streaks is choroidal neovasculariz...

IN recent years there have been many references to angioid streaks of the retina found in association with pseudoxanthoma elasticum and Paget's disease of bones (Elwyn, 1953; Cowper, 1954; Bedrossian, 1958; Hogan and Zinmerman, 1962). A review of the current literature on angioid streaks and on brain tumours revealed no cases of angioid streaks in patients who presented with ocular manifestatio...

Angioid streaks are rare lesions of the fundus, which often associated with general pathologies. These stripes that visible at dark in appearance, and diverge from papilla. They due to anomalies elastic fibers there is a deposit calcium. described many pathologies: Paget's disease; Sickle cell disease Marfan's syndrome. There no treatment for angioid streaks. We report case patient presenting a...

Angioid streaks are visible irregular crack-like dehiscences in Bruch's membrane that are associated with atrophic degeneration of the overlying retinal pigmented epithelium. Angioid streaks may be associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, Paget's disease, sickle-cell anemia, acromegaly, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and diabetes mellitus, but also appear in patients without any systemic disease. Pat...

The most characteristic ocular lesions in pseudoxanthoma elasticum are the angioid streaks which may be seen in about 85 per cent. of cases. The associated features in the fundus are a peculiar mottled appearance (Shimizu, I96I), peau d'orange (Smith, Gass, and Justice, I964), and yellowish-white spots (salmon spots). While most subjects showing angioid streaks have pseudoxanthoma elasticum, cl...

A case is reported of a patient with known haemoglobin H disease who was found to have angioid streaks and retinal detachment. Angioid streaks have not previously been reported in cases of alpha-thalassaemia, and the question whether this is a chance association or otherwise is discussed.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum complicated by angioid streaks and various other vascular problems was described. The patient was a 69-year-old female and was found to be hypertensive with the left ventricular hypertrophy. Skin biopsies from bilateral sides of the neck disclosed a typical lesion indicating pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Subsequently, several complications were sorted out and hypertension h...

Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a rare autosomal dominant disease with various phenotypic expressions. The hallmark of the disease is bilateral symmetric diaphyseal hyperostosis of the long bones with progressive involvement of the metaphysis. Ocular manifestations occur rarely and mainly result from bony overgrowth of the orbit and optic canal stenosis. We report a case of CED showing angi...
