摘要
To assess the outcome of patients with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) injections. Sixteen eyes of 16 patients diagnosed with CNV secondary to PIC were retrospectively assessed. Eleven women and five men with a mean age of 35 years (SD 11, range 16-56 years) received intravitreal anti-VEGF for PIC-related CNV. On average, 3.5 injections (SD 2.7, range 1-9) were given per eye. Thirteen eyes were treated with bevacizumab, two eyes with ranibizumab and one eye received both substances. The mean follow-up was 15 months (SD 11, range 6-40 months). BCVA improved in eight eyes (mean Delta +2.8 lines), remained stable in four eyes and decreased in four eyes (mean Delta -4.3 lines). CNV development is a frequent complication of PIC. Intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy seems to be safe and effective for PIC-related CNV.
