We describe a unique case of bilateral acquired vitelliform lesions in a 67-year-old-female with pachychoroid associated with subretinal fluid in the right eye (OD) and a nonexudative choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in the left eye (OS). Multimodal imaging performed at baseline and over the ensuing two years showed an increase in the OS vitelliform lesions with a concurrent transformation of quiescent CNVM to an exudative form. Further studies are warranted to gain better insight into the etiopathogenesis of these vitelliform lesions in pachychoroid and their potential role in instigating CNVM activation.
我们描述了一例独特的病例,一名67岁女性双眼出现后天性卵黄样病变,右眼(OD)伴有与视网膜下液相关的厚脉络膜,左眼(OS)有非渗出性脉络膜新生血管膜(CNVM)。在基线时及随后两年进行的多模态成像显示,OS的卵黄样病变增多,同时静止的CNVM转变为渗出性形式。有必要进行进一步研究,以更好地了解这些厚脉络膜中卵黄样病变的病因发病机制及其在促使CNVM激活中的潜在作用。
