Abstract

To present the clinical and imaging findings and treatment results of a patient with myopic choroidal neovascularization and foveoschisis. A 45-year old female patient admitted with the complaint of visual acuity loss in the left eye. Best cor- rected visual acuity was 20/40 in the right eye, and 20/200 in the left eye. Anterior segment examination was normal. There was a subretinal hemorrhage at the inferior part of the fovea in the left eye. In the light of these findings, the patient was diagnosed as myopic CNV, and underwent two consecutive monthly intravitreal bevacizumab injections. After the treament, BCVA improved to 20/64, subretinal hemorrhage disappeared, and there was a window defect in FFA in the left eye. After seven months of follow-up time, BCVA decreased to 20/80 and OCT revealed foveoschisis in the left eye. The patient was informed about the disease and offered to undergo pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling. She did not want to undergo surgery, and was called for periodic follow-up examinations. Degenerative myopia may lead to severe visual acuity loss because of choroidal neovascularization, Fuchs spot, Lacquer cracks that involve the fovea, myopic foveo- schisis, and the combinations of these. It is very important to detect and treat these problems via different imaging and treatment modalities for preventing visual loss.

Özet

Bu çalışmada miyopik koroidal neovaskülarizasyonu (KNV) ve foveoskizisi olan bir olgunun klinik ve görüntüleme bul- guları ile tedavi sonuçlarını sunduk. Kırk beş yaşında bayan hasta sol gözde görme azlığı ile başvurdu. En iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği (EDGK) sağ gözde 20/40; sol gözde ise 20/200’dü. Ön segment muayenesi doğaldı. Fundus muayenesinde sol gözde fovea alt yarıda retina altı kanama mevcuttu. Bu bulgular ışığında miyopik koroidal neovaskülerizasyon tanısı ile hastaya bir ay ara ile 2 doz bevacizumab enjeksiyonu yapıldı. Tedavi sonrası birinci ay kontrolünde EDGK’nin 20/64 oldu- ğu, kanamanın gerilediği ve kontrol FFA’sında kanamaya uyan bölgede pencere defekti olduğu görüldü. Takibinin yedinci ayında EDGK’nin 20/80’e azaldığı ve Optik Koherens Tomografide (OKT) foveoskizis geliştiği gözlendi. Hasta hastalığı ile bilgilendirildi; pars plana vitrektomi (PPV) ve iç limitan membran (İLM) soyulması önerildi. Hasta cerrahiyi kabul etmedi ve belirli aralıklar ile takibine devam edildi. Dejeneratif miyopi; KNV ve Fuchs lekesi, Lacquer çatlağının foveayı tutması, miyopik foveoskizis veya bunların bir arada olması gibi nedenler ile görme keskinliğinde azalmaya yol açan bir hastalıktır. Görüntüleme yöntemlerinden faydalanılarak bu durumların ayırıcı tanılarının yapılması görsel kayıp açısından kritik bir önem taşımaktadır.
