Abstract
PARROCHIA, M. et al. Sub-tenon steroid treatment in choroidal neovascularization caused by serpiginous choroiditis: A case report. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.10, pp.615-619. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We present a report of a patient suffering from serpiginous choroiditis complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Sub-tenon steroid treatment, added to the usual immunosuppressive therapy, resolved the CNV, improving visual acuity in one eye. Discussion: Choroidal neovascularization is a sight-threatening complication of posterior uveitis. Our case suggests that sub-tenon steroid treatment, added to systemic immunosuppressive therapy, may accelerate the CNV resolution in posterior uveitis.
Keywords : Serpiginous choroiditis; retinal neovascularization; steroids; sub-tenon; mmunosuppressive.
