Macular translocation for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in angioid streaks.
American Journal of Ophthalmology 2001 March
PURPOSE: To report a case of visual improvement after macular translocation performed for a subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane in a patient with pseudoxanthoma elasticum and angioid streaks.
METHODS: The fovea was translocated inferiorly by scleral imbrication, intentional retinal detachment with a small posterior retinotomy, and partial fluid-air exchange. The choroidal neovascular membrane was photocoagulated 1 week later.
RESULTS: The visual acuity of the patient improved from 20/125 to 20/40. The center of the foveal avascular zone was moved inferiorly 844 microm. The choroidal neovascular membrane was extrafoveal after translocation and was treated with laser photocoagulation.
CONCLUSION: Macular translocation may be considered in the management of subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane in patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum and angioid streaks.
