Optical coherence tomography angiography findings of choroidal neovascularization secondary to laser injury: A case report. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - A 14-year-old boy experienced vision loss after staring at a laser pointer, leading to a diagnosis of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to the laser injury.
  • - Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) revealed significant retinal damage, including a hyperreflective lesion, while treatment with an anti-VEGF injection improved his vision considerably after one month.
  • - The case highlights that retinal laser injuries can lead to CNV, and OCTA is a useful tool for both diagnosing CNV and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.

Article Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to laser injury imaged by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and treated by intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Observations: A 14-year-old boy presented with vision loss and central scotoma in the right eye (RE) in the last month, after having stared at the beam of a laser pointer. At presentation, his best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the RE was 20/40 and spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) showed an interruption of ellipsoid zone and the presence of an hyperrelfective lesion in subfoveal region. OCTA examination revealed the presence of a high-flow lesion on both outer retina to choriocapillaris (ORCC) and choriocapillaris segmentations. The patient was treated by one anti-VEGF injection: at one month follow-up his BCVA in the RE was 15/20. SD-OCT revealed the complete resolution of hyperreflective lesion and no detectable flow on OCTA.

Conclusions And Importance: Retinal laser injury may be complicated by CNV. OCTA may non-invasively assess the presence of CNV, as well as treatment-response.
