Pachychoroid neovasculopathy in a male patient: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pachychoroid neovasculopathy is a form of type 1 (subretinal pigment epithelium) neovascularization characterized by the involvement of dilated choroidal vessels in areas of increased choroidal thickness. This disease was originally described in three white female patients. Here we report the multimodal evaluation of a clinical case of PN in a white male patient.

As it often masquerades as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), it is currently controversial whether pachychoroid neovasculopathy should be distinguished from neovascular AMD. This is because its characteristics have yet to be well described. To estimate the relative preval...

Purpose We evaluate changes in choroidal thickness after intravitreal injection (IVI) therapy for pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV). Methods An observational, retrospective, consecutive case series was studied of 18 patients (18 eyes) who underwent anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for PNV. The 18 fellow eyes in these patients were used as controls. All eyes were evaluat...

Background The X-linked cyclin-dependent kinase like 5 (CDKL5/STK9) gene has been shown to be responsible for a severe encephalopathy condition characterized by early onset of epilepsy and severe developmental delay. CDKL5 mutations have been shown to be more frequent among female patients. Results Here we report a 6- month male patient, second child of a healthy non consanguineous in the Irani...
