Choroidal Neovascularization: Mechanisms of Endothelial Dysfunction

Mechanisms of retinal and choroidal neovascularization.

Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy for Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization.

Myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the most vision-impairing complications in patients with pathologic myopia. It is also one of the most frequently encountered non.age-related macular degeneration causes of CNV and affects young patients in the working age group. Fluorescein angiography (FA) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) are generally indicated to conf...

Role of Intravitreal Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor Injections for Choroidal Neovascularization due to Choroidal Osteoma

We treated 26 eyes of 25 young patients having a mean age of 30 years with intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor for choroidal new vessel (CNV) formation overlying choroidal osteoma over a mean follow-up of 26 months. Mean number of injections was 2.4 at 6 months, 3.2 at 12 months, and 5.5 at 24 months. CNV was subfoveal in 14 eyes, juxtafoveal in 5, extrafoveal in 5,...

Unilateral Choroidal Osteoma with Choroidal Neovascularization

A 16 year old female presented to the New England Eye Center with a chief complaint of decreased vision and metamorphopsia in the left eye. The symptoms started three months prior to presentation and remained unchanged from onset. There were no other visual complaints at the time of presentation. She denied any prior ocular history; this was her first eye exam. On review of systems, there was n...

Current choroidal neovascularization treatment.

PURPOSE This paper aims to describe the current situation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) treatment. PROCEDURES MEDLINE (2001-2013) was searched for original research studies (phase I, II, III), abstracts and review articles concerning CNV therapy, and other related articles. Selected information from related websites was also included. RESULTS The management of CNV was developed thro...
