Circulating hematopoietic stem cells in patients with idiopathic choroidal neovascularization.
PURPOSE In a prior study, the correlation was investigated between circulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the activity or severity of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The present study was designed to explore the role of circulating HSCs in the pathogenesis of CNV in patients with idiopathic (i)CNV. METHODS Thirteen patients ...
متن کاملOcular risk factors for choroidal neovascularization in pathologic myopia.
UNLABELLED PURPOSE. To identify the risk factors for development of myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV), a major cause of visual impairment. METHODS. Enrolled in the study were 23 consecutive patients with bilateral high myopia (axial length, > or =26.5 mm or refractive error, < or =8 D) and unilateral newly developed mCNV who presented to the Myopia Clinic, Osaka University Hospital. Sp...
متن کاملChoroidal neovascularization secondary to choroideremia.
CASE REPORT The case is presented of a 30 year-old man, with night blindness and decreased visual acuity (VA) in both eyes, but more significant in the left eye (LE) of 20/100. Lesions consistent with choroideremia and LE macular hemorrhage was observed in the fundus. CNV was confirmed by OCT. A definitive diagnosis was obtained by genetic study. No treatment was given as the patient did not re...
متن کاملLaser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, and intravitreal bevacizumab for the treatment of juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects on visual acuity of laser treatment (LT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin, and intravitreal bevacizumab treatment in patients with juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia. METHODS This prospective randomized clinical investigation enrolled 54 patients, who were divided into 3 groups receiving PDT, LT, or intravitreal...
متن کاملVariation in subfoveal choroidal thickness in patients with high myopia complicated by choroidal neovascularization
The aims of this study was to observe the variation in subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in patients with highly myopic macular complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and to compare choroidal thickness in these eyes with highly myopic eyes without CNV, matched with the others group by ages, genders, eye axial length and diopter. 72 cases with 72 eyes, confirmed with high myopia in...
