Choroidal osteoma (CO) is a rare, ossifying benign tumor originated in the choroid that typically occurs in otherwise healthy young women (1,2). It is characterized by a yellowish, well demarcated lesion in the juxtapapillary or macular area. The diagnosis is clinical and can be confirmed with the use of fluorescein or indocyanine angiography, optical coherence tomography, computed tomography o...

The association between growth-hormone (GH) and neovascular retinopathies in nondiabetic patients has been reported in earlier series. We report occurrence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a 15-year-old male patient undergoing long-term GH therapy. The CNV could be a consequence of the GH-intake in a susceptible myopic patient.

Integrin 5 1 plays an important role in developmental angiogenesis, but its role in various types of pathologic neovascularization has not been completely defined. In this study, we found strong up-regulation of 5 1 in choroidal neovascularization. Implantation of an osmotic pump delivering 1.5 or 10 g/h ( 1.8 or 12 mg/kg/day) of 3-(2-{1-alkyl-5-[(pyridin-2ylamino)-methyl]-pyrrolidin-3-yloxy}-a...

A 47-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of decreased vision in the right eye. Her visual acuity was 0.16 in the right eye and 1.0 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed a slightly elevated, yellowish-white lesion with regular borders at the macula of the right eye. Early and late hyperfluorescence related with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was detected in the right ey...
