A 44-year-old patient with presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (POHS) who developed a choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery is presented.
A 44-year-old male patient with moderate myopia and POHS who underwent LASIK surgery complained of distorted vision after the procedure. He had a quiet POHS lesion prior to refractive surgery. Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography revealed subfoveal CNV after the LASIK surgery. He underwent 2 sessions of photodynamic therapy (PDT).
Subfoveal CNV involuted after PDT and his vision improved from 20/300 to 20/25 at 13 months follow-up.
CNV can be triggered by LASIK surgery in patients with POHS. Those patients should be made aware of and closely followed up postoperatively for this complication.
报告一名44岁疑似眼组织胞浆菌病综合征(POHS)患者,其在准分子激光原位角膜磨镶术(LASIK)后发生脉络膜新生血管膜(CNV)。
一名44岁患有中度近视和POHS的男性患者接受了LASIK手术,术后抱怨视力扭曲。屈光手术前他有一个静止的POHS病变。眼底检查和荧光素血管造影显示LASIK手术后黄斑下CNV形成。他接受了2次光动力疗法(PDT)。
PDT后黄斑下CNV消退,在13个月的随访中,他的视力从20/300提高到20/25。
POHS患者的CNV可由LASIK手术引发。应让这些患者了解并在术后密切随访该并发症。
