Abstract
Case report

A 70-year-old male patient diagnosed with bilateral adult-onset vitelliform dystrophy presented with a sudden decrease of vision in his left eye (LE) associated with the appearance of an occult type of neovascular membrane. It was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab due to juxtafoveal location of the membrane. Two injections were needed to induce total regression of the lesion.

Discussion

Intravitreal ranibizumab may be effective to induce morphological and functional improvement in cases of choroidal neovascularization secondary to adult-onset vitelliform foveomacular dystrophy. Further case series are required to confirm this observation.

Resumen
Caso clínico

Varón de 70 años diagnosticado de distrofia foveomacular viteliforme del adulto (DFVA), que en el curso de su enfermedad presenta disminución brusca de visión en OI coincidiendo con la aparición de una membrana neovascular oculta. Dada la localización yuxtafoveal de la membrana, se decidió tratar con ranibizumab intravítreo, siendo necesarias 2 inyecciones para lograr el cierre completo de la lesión neovascular.

Discusión

El uso de ranibizumab intravítreo puede ser una opción de tratamiento eficaz en la neovascularización coroidea secundaria a DFVA, siendo necesarias series de casos más amplias, para poder confirmar esta observación.
