Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the results of argon laser photocoagulation treatment and photodynamic therapy of choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six eyes of 23 patients with choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks were reviewed. Eight patients who had a follow-up shorter than six months were excluded. Eighteen eyes of 15 patients were enrolled into the study group. Ten eyes of eight patients were treated with argon laser photocoagulation. Photodynamic therapy was performed in eight eyes of seven patients. Results: The mean follow-up was 29 months (Range, 6-108 months) in argon laser photocoagulation treatment group. Choroidal neovascularization was extrafoveal in six eyes (60%), and juxtafoveal in four eyes (40%). Best-corrected visual acuity increased in three eyes (30%), decreased in five eyes (50%) and remained stable in two eyes (20%) after treatment. The mean follow-up was 23 months (Range, 9-36 months) in photodynamic therapy group. Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization was noted in seven eyes (87.5%) and in one eye (12.5%) choroidal neovascularization was juxtafoveal. Best-corrected visual acuity increased in two eyes (25%), decreased in two eyes (25%) and remained stable in four eyes (50%) after treatment. Conclusion: Argon laser photocoagulation treatment for extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization and photodynamic therapy for juxtafoveal and subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks may slow down visual loss.

Özet

Amaç: Anjioid streakse ikincil gelişen koroid neovaskülarizasyonunda (KNV) argon lazer fotokoagülasyon ve fotodinamik tedavi (FDT) sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Anjioid streakse ikincil gelişen KNV tanısı alan 23 hastanın 26 gözünün kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. İzlem süresi altı ayın altında olan sekiz hasta çalışma kapsamından çıkarıldı. Çalışma grubunu 15 hastanın 18 gözü oluşturdu. Sekiz hastanın 10 gözüne argon lazer fotokoagülasyon tedavisi, yedi hastanın sekiz gözüne FDT uygulandı. Bulgular: Argon lazer tedavisi yapılan hastaların ortalama izlem süreleri 29 aydı (6-108 ay). Altı gözde (%60) KNV ekstrafoveal, dört gözde (%40) jukstafoveal yerleşimliydi. Tedavi sonrasında beş gözde (%50) görme keskinliği azaldı, iki gözde (%20) aynı kaldı, üç gözde (%30) arttı. Fotodinamik tedavi yapılan hastaların ortalama izlem süreleri 23 aydı (9-36 ay). Yedi gözde (%87.5) KNV subfoveal, bir gözde (%12.5) jukstafoveal yerleşimliydi. Tedavi sonrasında iki gözde (%25) görme keskinliği azalırken, dört gözde (%50) aynı kaldı, iki gözde (%25) arttı. Sonuç: Anjioid Streakse ikincil gelişen ekstrafoveal yerleşimli KNV için argon lazer fotokoagülasyon tedavisi, subfoveal ve jukstafoveal yerleşimli KNV için FDT görme keskinliğinin azalmasını yavaşlatabilmektedir.
