OCT angiography for the diagnosis and management of choroidal neovascularization secondary to choroideremia
PURPOSE: To describe the multimodal imaging findings and treatment outcomes in choroidal neovascularization secondary to Choroideremia. OBSERVATIONS: A 13-year-old male presented with reduced visual acuity in the left eye. He gave a history of nyctalopia. His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was...

description | PURPOSE: To describe the multimodal imaging findings and treatment outcomes in choroidal neovascularization secondary to Choroideremia. OBSERVATIONS: A 13-year-old male presented with reduced visual acuity in the left eye. He gave a history of nyctalopia. His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. Based on multimodal imaging, the diagnosis of choroideremia in both eyes with a subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in the left eye was made. He underwent five intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections of Ranibizumab over a period of 3 years, with the final injection given due to recurrence of neovascularization. Post-treatment, his BCVA improved to 20/20 in the left eye with regression of the neovascular network. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: This case highlights the role of OCTA in diagnosis of choroidal neovascularization in choroideremia as well as its successful management with anti-VEGF injections with long term follow up. |
