Resumen
VALVERDE MEGIAS, A. et al. Intravitreal ranibizumab (Lucentis®) in the treatment of choroidal neovascular membrane secondary to punctate inner choroidopathy. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2010, vol.85, n.4, pp.149-152. ISSN 0365-6691.
Clinic case: A 25 year old patient with high myopia diagnosed of metachronic choroidal neovascularisation in both eyes secondary to punctate inner choroidopathy leading to visual impairment and metamorphopsia. First eye was treated with four injections of ranibizumab after photodynamic therapy and the second eye only with charge dose of ranibizumab, reaching inactivity with good final visual acuity in both eyes. Discussion: Ranibizumab is useful in the treatment of this illness. Prospective studies are needed to investigate the usefulness of a combination with adjuvant therapies such as photodynamic therapy.
