Unlabelled:
We report a case of a high myopic patient, treated with photodynamic therapy for macular neovascularization in the presence of silicon oil. Four months later, the patient's vision was again at 4/40, with no active neovascularization.
Introduction:
Retinal detachment and macular neovascularization are common complications in high myopia patients. Sometimes these two conditions occur simultaneously and their treatment can become more problematic.
Observation:
We report the case of a high myopia patient treated with photodynamic therapy for subfoveal neovascularization through a vitreous cavity filled with silicone oil. The treatment was successfully completed with no problems.
Conclusion:
Photodynamic therapy can be achieved successfully through a vitreous cavity filled with silicone oil.
