The aim of this case presentation is to describe ocular findings of a 22-year-old patient with Best vitelliform macular dystrophy accompanied by pachychoroid neovasculopathy. Color fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images were reviewed. Funduscopic examination showed bilateral yellowish vitelliform-like submacular deposits. FAF revealed these deposits as hyperautofluorescent spots. OCT showed flat irregular pigment epithelial detachments corresponding to these submacular deposits. OCT showed choroidal thickening and dilatation of the large outer oval choroidal vessels. Fundus fluorescein angiography could not be performed because the patient was pregnant. En face OCTA images of the choriocapillaris illustrated the choroidal neovascular network. In this case report, we describe for the first time the coexistence of Best vitelliform macular dystrophy and pachychoroid neovasculopathy with OCTA images enabling visualization of the neovascular network in a patient with contraindication for fluorescein angiography.
本病例报告的目的是描述一名22岁患有Best卵黄样黄斑营养不良并伴有厚脉络膜新生血管病变患者的眼部检查结果。回顾了彩色眼底照片、眼底自发荧光(FAF)、光学相干断层扫描(OCT)和光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCTA)图像。眼底检查显示双侧黄斑下有淡黄色卵黄样沉积物。FAF显示这些沉积物为高自发荧光斑点。OCT显示与这些黄斑下沉积物对应的扁平不规则色素上皮脱离。OCT显示脉络膜增厚和大的外层椭圆形脉络膜血管扩张。由于患者怀孕,无法进行眼底荧光血管造影。脉络膜毛细血管的OCTA正面图像显示了脉络膜新生血管网络。在本病例报告中,我们首次描述了Best卵黄样黄斑营养不良与厚脉络膜新生血管病变并存的情况,且通过OCTA图像能够在一名有荧光血管造影禁忌证的患者中可视化新生血管网络。
