To report a patient with angioid streaks (ASs) and coincident multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) who developed choroidal neovascularization (CNV).
A 20-year-old woman presented with reduced vision (20/100) in her left eye (LE). Based on a complete ophthalmologic examination the patient was diagnosed with ASs and coincident MEWDS. Two weeks later best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved up to 20/25 and the MEWDS findings almost disappeared. Two months later BCVA dropped again (20/100) due to the development of CNV which was treated by a single intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (0.5 mg/0.05 mL). One month after this BCVA improved up to 20/40, and there was regression of the CNV. There was no need for retreatment at the last follow-up visit, 1 year after the ranibizumab injection, when the patient showed further recovery of BCVA up to 20/25.
In this case of ASs, MEWDS completely resolved after 2 weeks, but 2 months later CNV developed. A single intravitreal injection of ranibizumab had a long-lasting effect. Larger series are necessary to clarify the pathogenesis of CNV in such cases and the role of intravitreal ranibizumab.
报告一例患有血管样条纹(ASs)并合并多发性一过性白点综合征(MEWDS)且发生脉络膜新生血管(CNV)的患者。
一名20岁女性左眼视力下降(20/100)。经过全面的眼科检查,该患者被诊断为ASs并合并MEWDS。两周后,最佳矫正视力(BCVA)提高到20/25,MEWDS的表现几乎消失。两个月后,由于CNV的发生,BCVA再次下降(20/100),通过玻璃体内单次注射雷珠单抗(0.5mg/0.05mL)进行治疗。注射后一个月,BCVA提高到20/40,CNV有所消退。在雷珠单抗注射1年后的最后一次随访中,患者无需再次治疗,此时BCVA进一步恢复到20/25。
在该ASs病例中,MEWDS在2周后完全消退,但2个月后发生了CNV。玻璃体内单次注射雷珠单抗具有持久的效果。需要更大规模的系列研究来阐明此类病例中CNV的发病机制以及玻璃体内雷珠单抗的作用。
