  • Title: [Subretinal neovascular membrane in angioid streaks treated with intravitreal bevacizumab].
    Author: García-López A, González-Castaño C.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2014 May; 89(5):203-6. PubMed ID: 24269464.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Angioid streaks are breaks in Bruch's membrane that may be associated, among others, with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Its most common complication is the development of subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM) and the decreased vision this entails. CASE REPORT: A 28 year old woman with angioid streaks and SRNVM in the left eye, who received 3 injections of intravitreal bevacizumab, with rapid improvement in vision and stability during 11 months follow up. The finding of angioid streaks led to the diagnosis of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. CONCLUSION: Intravitreal bevacizumab should be considered as an effective treatment option for choroidal neovascularization associated with angioid streaks.
