Peripapillary choroidal neovascularization associated with kenny syndrome
1From the Retina Associates of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky.
Purpose:
To report a case of Kenny-Caffey syndrome with peripapillary choroidal neovascularization.
Methods:
An observational case report with clinical findings demonstrated by wide-field retinal photographic and angiographic evaluation of a patient with Kenny-Caffey syndrome.
Results:
Wide-field retinal photography and fluorescein angiography showed characteristic findings seen in Kenny-Caffey syndrome (crowded optic nerves, retinal vascular tortuosity). In addition, the previously undocumented finding of peripapillary choroidal neovascularization is demonstrated.
Conclusion:
The development of peripapillary choroidal neovascularization can occur in patients with Kenny-Caffey syndrome. The development of this finding may be secondary to abnormalities of the optic nerve inherent in this rare disorder.
