Abstract

In this study we describe a case of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to basal laminar drusen, in which severe visual loss occured after photodynamic ther- apy session. We changed the type of treatment to pegap- tanib injections (Macugen®) for achieving regression of the recurrent neovascularization. During one-year, 8 intravit- real injections of pegaptanib has been performed every 6 weeks, and at the end of the follow-up; stabilization of the lesion was achieved with preservation of the visual acuity at the baseline value.

Özet

Bu çalışmada fotodinamik tedavi sonrası ağır görme kaybı gelişen bir bazal laminer drusen ile ilişkili subfoveal koroid neovaskülarizasyonu olgusu tanımlanmıştır. Neovaskülari- zasyonun nüksetmesi üzerine tedavi şekli pegaptanib en- jeksiyonu olarak değiştirildi. Bir yıl boyunca her 6 haftada 1 kez olmak üzere toplam 8 kez intravitreal pegaptanib (Macugen®) enjekte edildi ve takip sonunda lezyonda sta- bilizasyon sağlanırken görme keskinliği başlangıç düzeyin- de korundu.
