Abstract:
This study describe the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) features of a young patient with Tuberous sclerosis complicated with CNV unilateral macular choroidal neovascularization during the ranibizumab therapy. OCTA scans of macular region of right eye, revealed a dense microvascular network confirming the diagnosis of CNV. After four monthly intravitreal injections, OCTA revealed a decrease of size and activity of CNV. OCTA is a valid, non-invasive, dyeless, and reliable method that could improve the diagnosis and management of CNV in child with Tuberous sclerosis.
