Intermediate Uveitis Complicated by Peripapillary Choroidal Neovascularization

Abstract: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a very rare complication of intermediate uveitis with an incidence rate of around 2.0%. This case report examines the pathogenesis and prognosis of peripapillary CNV in a 52year-old female patient with intermediate uveitis. The patient was initially diagnosed with intermediate uveitis and had two-month-old floaters, 20/25 vision, and snowballs in both eyes. After five years, she underwent a normal ocular checkup, which revealed peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage. The pres… Show more

“…Its incidence in non-infectious posterior uveitis has been reported to reach 2% [ 5 ]. A higher incidence of CNV was reported in multifocal choroiditis, punctate inner choroidopathy, serpiginous choroidopathy, birdshot retinochoroidopathy, and Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. On the other hand, data on the incidence of iCNV secondary to infectious uveitis are scarce and are derived mainly from case series and case reports.…”
