Surgical Removal Of Extensive Peripapillary Choroidal Neovascularization Proves Good In Long Run
Removal of the extensive peripapillary choroidal neovascularization associated with presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome can be proved good in the long run. Arghavan Almony, who completed the study along with other researchers comes to the conclusion that evaluated long-term visual outcomes after performing pars plana vitrectomy and surgically removing extensive peripapillary choroidal neovascularization associated with presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome from 40 eyes of 35 patients who were deemed ineligible for laser treatment.
Of 40 total eyes, 23 eyes with subfoveal extension of peripapillary choroidal neovascularization had baseline best corrected visual acuity that ranged from 20/25 to counting fingers at 2 feet (median, 20/200). Of these eyes, 18 had achieved stable or improved BCVA from baseline to final postop examination; five eyes had decreased by two or more lines of BCVA, the authors noted. Final postoperative BCVA for these eyes ranged from 20/15 to counting fingers at 2 feet (median, 20/50) and had improved to 20/40 or better in 11 of 23 eyes.
