This case report details bilateral choroidal neovascularization in a patient with primary hyperoxaluria type 1. Oxalate deposition may mechanically induce this vision-threatening complication.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Nephrology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 is a rare metabolic disorder leading to oxalate accumulation.
  • Systemic oxalate deposition can affect multiple organs, including the eyes.

Observation:

  • A 22-year-old male with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 presented with progressive bilateral vision loss over 8 months.
  • Clinical examination revealed bilateral macular scars.

Findings:

  • Fluorescein angiography confirmed bilateral choroidal neovascularization (CNV) adjacent to macular scars.
  • Ocular coherence tomography (OCT) provided detailed imaging of the CNV and scar pathology.

Implications:

  • This case suggests a potential link between oxalate deposition and the development of CNV in primary hyperoxaluria.

  • Mechanical stress from oxalate crystals may contribute to CNV formation, highlighting the importance of ocular monitoring in these patients.
