1/11. Surgery for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis.PURPOSE: To report a case of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in a patient with toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis who underwent surgical excision. DESIGN: Interventional case report. methods: A 36-year-old woman with toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis presented with sudden dimness of vision and metamorphopsia in the left eye. The patient was examined with ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography. RESULTS: Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography of the left eye revealed a subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. Pars plana vitrectomy with submacular surgery was performed, with a postoperative improvement of visual acuity and resolution of the distortion. CONCLUSIONS: This case report describes a case of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization associated with toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis that responded remarkably well to vitrectomy surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/11. Photodynamic therapy-treated choroidal neovascular membrane secondary to toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis.PURPOSE: To report the result of photodynamic therapy with Visudyne (PDT) on a child with choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV) secondary to toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis. methods: An 11-year-old child with a unilateral lowering of visual acuity secondary to an extrafoveal choroidal neovascular membrane was submitted to PDT. RESULTS: One week after PDT, the patient's vision had improved from 10/160 to 20/70, with marked improvement in the angiographic findings. The CNV evolved with decreasing of leakage until 45 days after operation, when it regressed to a chorioretinal scar formation, with final vision of 20/25. CONCLUSION: PDT promoted an early recovery of visual acuity in an eye with choroidal neovascularization secondary to toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/11. Severe ischemic maculopathy in a patient with west nile virus infection.A 60-year-old man with diabetes mellitus had a sudden decrease in vision in his right eye 3 weeks after confirmed west nile virus infection. visual acuity in the right eye was 20/400. Fundus examination showed bilateral multifocal chorioretinitis, which was associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the right eye and severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy in the left eye. There were deep, dense retinal hemorrhages, retinal opacification, and retinal arterial sheathing in the macula of the right eye. fluorescein angiography revealed extensive capillary nonperfusion in the macular area of the right eye. Six months later, vision remained unchanged and a choroidal neovascularization developed over a chorioretinal scar in the same eye.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/11. Peripheral retinal neovascularization in birdshot retinochoroidopathy.A 69-year-old black woman had ocular findings consistent with birdshot retinochoroidopathy; these included cream-colored depigmented spots at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium and vitreitis. She also had peripheral retinal neovascularization with localized vitreous hemorrhage. There were no laboratory or systemic findings consistent with other disease entities.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/11. Late development of chorioretinal lesions in birdshot retinochoroidopathy.The clinical manifestations of diffuse retinochoroidopathy after recurrent episodes of vitriitis led to the diagnosis of birdshot retinochoroidopathy in two patients in whom the initial lesions were cystoid macular edema and papillophlebitis. Although the onset and clinical characteristics of the early lesions varied, both patients had manifestations of chronic retinal vasculitis. We observed the late appearance and evolution of the characteristic cream-colored depigmented spots which were not present in the early stages of the disease. In addition the second case also developed choroidal neovascularization. Serial electroretinographic examinations showed that this disorder has a progressive course from focal lesions to widespread diffuse changes.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/11. Acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in birdshot retinochoroidopathy.Visual loss in birdshot retinochoroidopathy has been reported to be produced by cystoid macular edema, optic atrophy, epiretinal macular membranes and subretinal neovascularization. We present a patient with this syndrome in whom the visual loss was due to an acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. The possible common pathogenesis of both diseases is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/11. chorioretinitis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis.A case of tuberculous uveitis that presented 34 years after a primary articular focus is evaluated. The pathogenesis of the infection and the role of the tuberculin skin test in the diagnosis are discussed. isoniazid was used with good therapeutic results. fluorescein angiography was found to be essential in the follow-up of the choroidal lesions. Subretinal neovascularization was managed with argon laser photocoagulation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/11. choroidal neovascularization as a late complication of ocular toxoplasmosis.Macular detachment caused by choroidal neovascularization in eyes with previous toxoplasmic infections is one possible explanation of sudden loss of visual acuity. Three patients with quiescent chorioretinal scars, presumed to be toxoplasmic in origin, developed choroidal neovascular membranes that caused sudden loss of visual acuity. In none of the three cases was there any ophthalmoscopic evidence of intraocular inflammation. In two patients, the choroidal neovascularization was subfoveal and, therefore, not suitable for photocoagulation. However, visual acuity in each of the affected eyes was only partially impaired (6/15 [20/50] in one patient and 6/30 [20/100] in the other). In the third patient, the choroidal neovascular membrane was treated with argon-laser photocoagulation. Two months after treatment, visual acuity in that eye was 6/9 (20/30), and there was angiographic evidence that the neovascular membrane had closed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/11. Focal macular choroidopathy.The clinical and angiographic findings in 2 patients with focal macular choroidopathy (FMC) are described. Follow-up fluorescein angiography revealed that the initial lesions consisted of multifocal, whitish spot-like areas of choroidal infiltration with hyperfluorescence in the late phase angiogram. At a later stage of the disease, the developing disciform macular lesion showed subretinal neovascularization. The disease was bilateral with poor visual prognosis. There was no evidence of infection with histoplasma capsulatum. Early oral corticosteroid treatment could not prevent the progressive nature of the disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/11. Metastatic fungal chorioretinitis developing during trichosporon sepsis.A 70-year-old woman treated for acute myelogenous leukemia developed systemic trichosporosis and presumptive trichosporon chorioretinitis. The elevated choroidal lesion appeared during an episode of trichosporon sepsis and increased in size during immunosuppression. Possible retinal vein occlusion and neovascularization were further complications that may be due to the angioinvasive properties of the organism.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = neovascularization (Clic here for more details about this article) |
