Presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (POHS) is a commonly observed fungal infection. Ocular findings include peripapillary atrophy, peripheral punched-out lesions, and a macular subretinal neovascular membrane. Laser photocoagulation can be beneficial in reducing visual loss from macular scarring due to subretinal neovascular membranes. Herein we describe a patient with POHS in which laser treatment regressed a parafoveal subretinal neovascular membrane. Her vision improved from 20/70 to 20/20 in the treated eye.
推测性眼组织胞浆菌病综合征(POHS)是一种常见的真菌感染。眼部表现包括视乳头周围萎缩、周边凿孔样病变以及黄斑下视网膜新生血管膜。激光光凝术有助于减少因视网膜下新生血管膜导致的黄斑瘢痕引起的视力丧失。在此,我们描述了一名患有POHS的患者,其激光治疗使黄斑旁视网膜下新生血管膜消退。治疗眼的视力从20/70提高到了20/20。
