  • Title: EXUDATIVE RETINAL DETACHMENT CAUSED BY A CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULAR MEMBRANE IN HALLERMANN-STREIFF SYNDROME.
    Author: AlAli A, Bourgault S, Clark I, Lam WC.
    Journal: Retin Cases Brief Rep; ; 12(1):45-47. PubMed ID: 27648586.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report a case of exudative retinal detachment caused by a choroidal neovascular membrane in Hallermann-Streiff syndrome. METHODS: The authors report a 7-year-old white male with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome who developed exudative retinal detachments secondary to choroidal neovascular membrane that resolved after off-label use of intravitreal injections of bevacizumab 1.25 mg. CONCLUSION: Patients with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome and exudative retinal detachment present with choroidal neovascular membrane can respond well with intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor.
