To present a case of nonexudative choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks in a patient with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The lesion was monitored over an 8-month period with the use of optical coherence tomography angiography.
Case report.
The neovascular tissue area increased by 0.160 mm2 over a period of 8 months without any sign of exudation seen on optical coherence tomography or fluorescein angiography.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of a nonexudative choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks. Given that once a patient with angioid streaks develops choroidal neovascularization in one eye there is a high risk of bilateral involvement within a short amount of time, optical coherence tomography angiography can prove a useful tool for monitoring such lesions over time.
报告1例弹性假黄瘤患者继发于血管样条纹的非渗出性脉络膜新生血管病例。使用光学相干断层扫描血管造影术对该病变进行了8个月的监测。
病例报告。
在8个月的时间里,新生血管组织面积增加了0.160平方毫米,光学相干断层扫描或荧光素血管造影均未发现任何渗出迹象。
据我们所知,这是首例关于血管样条纹继发非渗出性脉络膜新生血管的报告。鉴于血管样条纹患者一旦一只眼睛发生脉络膜新生血管,在短时间内双眼受累的风险很高,光学相干断层扫描血管造影术可证明是随时间监测此类病变的有用工具。
