Beals–Hecht syndrome and choroidal neovascularization

2010

PURPOSE To describe a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a female diagnosed with Beals-Hecht syndrome. METHODS A retrospective, interventional case is described in a 26-year-old female complaining of metamorphopsia and visual loss in her left eye (counting fingers). The fluorescein angiogram and the optical coherence tomography supported the diagnosis of CNV. Intravitreal ranibizumab was administered. RESULTS After the third intravitreal ranibizumab, her visual acuity improved to 0.8 and the morphology of the macular area was restored. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge this is the first report of CNV in Beals-Hecht syndrome treated with ranibizumab. Self-monitoring by periodically per…

Transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – Is it time to say good-bye?

2010

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for the closure of classic and occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and to discuss whether TTT is a useful treatment modality for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Materials and methods The present paper is a retrospective review of the clinical results from a patient group which was treated with TTT in the University Eye Clinic in Mainz. From January 2000 to December 2002, a total of 20 eyes of 20 patients with subfoveal CNV (due to AMD in 16 eyes, due to pathologic myopia in 4 eyes) received TTT. The procedure was delivered using an infrared diode laser at 810 nm, equipped with a modi…
