This case series illustrates clinical features and treatment outcomes of angioid streak associated CNV (AS-CNV) in 3 consecutive patients. Mean age of patients was 43.2 years with one female patient. Bilateral CNV was present in one patient. Comet-tail lesions were present in all cases. No underlying systemic association was found in any of the patients. All patients were treated with 3 loading doses of anti-VEGF injections (ranibizumab in two and aflibercept was used in one case). Subretinal fluid resolved in all cases with no recurrence of CNV activity at mean follow-up of 10.75 months. AS-CNV in Zambian eyes responds favourably to anti-VEGF injections.

Retinal Cases & Brief Reports Jul 2023To describe the steps leading to the development and progression of macular neovascularization (MNV) in angioid streaks.
PURPOSE
To describe the steps leading to the development and progression of macular neovascularization (MNV) in angioid streaks.
METHODS
The study was designed as retrospective, longitudinal case series. Patients with angioid streaks were investigated by means of multimodal imaging, including fundus autofluorescence and structural optical coherence tomography. Main outcome measures were hyperreflective foci and MNV progression steps.
RESULTS
Overall, 40 eyes (20 patients) affected by angioid streaks were evaluated. Over the follow-up, five eyes of five patients developed MNV. The mean follow-up was of 1.6 years. The mean number of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections was 4.35 ± 1.4. Mean best-corrected visual acuity was 0.53 ± 0.38 LogMAR at the MNV onset, improving to 0.42 ± 0.40 LogMAR at the end of the follow-up ( P > 0.05). Intraretinal hyperreflective foci onset and coalescence represented the first alterations occurring before the onset of the MNV. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment was associated with exudation relapsing and remitting, with still present intraretinal hyperreflective foci and pigment accumulation. The longitudinal analysis of our cohort of eyes outlined the event timeline: 1.2 months to find concentrated hyperreflective foci, 4.5 months to observe pigment organization through the outer nuclear layer, and 1.5 years to detect MNV.
CONCLUSION
Hyperreflective foci formation, concentration, and migration represent early alterations occurring before the onset of the MNV in angioid streaks.
