Subretinal choroidal neovascularization associated with choroidal nevus.
PURPOSE Evaluation of a large series of choroidal nevi inducing the formation of a neovascular membrane in order to more clearly define the clinical presentation and to evaluate the efficacy of various treatment options. METHOD Retrospective study of 22 clinical cases. RESULTS All nevi were situated in the posterior choroid. They had a mean diameter of 3.8 mm and a mean thickness of 1.4 mm....
متن کاملUpdate on Advances in Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy - A Subtype of Subretinal Neovascularization
Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a subtype of subretinal neovascularization and a variant of agerelated macular degeneration. Recent advances in diagnosis and treatment of this disease entity have improved the management of PCV and its outcomes. The diagnosis of PCV is often made based on funduscopic findings, but more definitively on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) patterns. OCT...
متن کاملA Novel Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor Antagonist Inhibits Choroidal Neovascularization and Subretinal Fibrosis
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a critical pathogenesis in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in developed countries. To date, the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying CNV have not been elucidated. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) has been previously implicated in angiogenesis; however, the roles of PAF and its receptor (PAF-R) in CN...
متن کاملThe COX-2-Selective Antagonist (NS-398) Inhibits Choroidal Neovascularization and Subretinal Fibrosis
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is an important pathologic component of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and CNV lesions later develop into fibrous scars, which contribute to the loss of central vision. Nowadays, the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying CNV and subretinal fibrosis have yet to be fully elucidated. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has previously been...
متن کاملA subretinal matrigel rat choroidal neovascularization (CNV) model and inhibition of CNV and associated inflammation and fibrosis by VEGF trap.
PURPOSE The exudative, or the wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by choroidal neovascularization (CNV). A subretinal Matrigel (BD Biosciences, Bedford MA) model of CNV is described here, along with the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) neutralization on the development of CNV and associated inflammation and fibrosis. METHODS CNV was induced ...
