Abstract

Background: Angioid streaks are irregular lines that radiate away from the optic disc to the retinal periphery, lying deep into the retina. They indicate the breaks in the calcified Bruch’s membrane. The most common complication of angioid streaks is choroidal neovascularization. They appear primarily bilaterally and are asymmetrical in nature.
Case Presentation: We report a 29-year-old man with choroidal neovascularization caused by angioid streaks. The study emphasizes seven years of follow-up of the disease treated with intravitreal bevacizumab and aflibercept injections. There were no injection related complications.
Conclusion: Anti-VEGF treatment can help the clinician to stabilize the disease and achieve gradual progression. Nonetheless, it cannot help to prevent significant vision loss in long-term follow-up in all cases.
 

Keywords: Angioid streaks, Choroidal neovascularization, Bevacizumab, Aflibercept.
