Multimodal Imaging Findings in Retinopathy Associated with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy before and after Treatment with Intravitreal Aflibercept and Laser Photocoagulation

A 52-year-old man with a history of facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) and hypertension presented with decreased vision in his left eye (OS) of several weeks' duration. The best-corrected visual acuity was 1.0 in both eyes (OU), with fundus soft exudates in the right eye (OD) and exudative ma...

Sumario:A 52-year-old man with a history of facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) and hypertension presented with decreased vision in his left eye (OS) of several weeks' duration. The best-corrected visual acuity was 1.0 in both eyes (OU), with fundus soft exudates in the right eye (OD) and exudative maculopathy OS. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed macular edema and hard exudates OS, and OCT angiography (OCTA) showed nonperfusion areas and arterial tortuosity OU and a capillary aneurysm OS. After photocoagulation of the nonperfusion areas OU and intravitreal injection of aflibercept OS, the macular edema OS decreased and subjective symptoms improved. However, the nonperfusion area OS was enlarged on OCTA. We report the OCTA findings before and after antivascular endothelial growth factor treatment in a patient with FSHD.
