Purpose:
To report the efficacy of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab 1.25 mg (IVB) in the treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to angioid streaks (AS).
Methods:
Case review of two patients with CNV secondary to AS treated with three IVB with a 1-year follow up.
Results:
In both patients after 1 year fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography showed complete inactivity of the CNV and the ophthalmologic examination revealed stabilization of the visual acuity.
Conclusions:
The IBV appeared to be an effective and safe treatment for CNV secondary to AS resulting in a long-term CNV inactivation. Further long-term studies in this type of lesion are desirable.
