Purpose: To report the results of combined photodynamic therapy with verteporfin and intravitreal Avastin delivered on the same day in the treatment of juvenile subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.
Methods: Photodynamic therapy with Visudyne at standard fluence rates and intravitreal Avastin were successfully completed under topical anesthesia in a single day treatment session in an 11-year-old girl with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.
Patient: A cooperative 11-year-old girl noted sudden vision loss in her right eye with a previous history of a small nonspecific extrafoveal inferior scar, and was noted to have developed an acute subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane.
Purpose: To describe the clinical features and to present results of new diagnostic methods to help define the cause of the clinical syndrome of intrapapillary hemorrhage with adjacent peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage (IHAPSH).
Design: Retrospective review of patients with IHAPSH at presentation seen in 3 centers in Hawaii and Japan.
Methods: We analyzed data including patient demographics, presenting symptoms, initial and final visual acuities, biomicroscopic findings, fundus photographs, and results of available ancillary testing, including fluorescein angiography, B-scan ultrasonography, and optical coherence tomography.
Purpose: To report a case of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy with a retinal capillary angioma and persistent macular exudation treated with photodynamic therapy.
Design: Interventional case report.
Methods: A 39-year-old woman with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy presented with an intraretinal capillary angioma temporally with persistent macular exudation despite previous vitrectomy and thermal laser.
