Abstract
Case report

We report a familial case of 2 siblings that suffered choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to angioid streaks. They were both treated with a monthly intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (Lucentis®) for 3 months. Visual acuity was stabilized and fluorescein angiography revealed complete resolution of CNV. Neither recurrent CNV lesion nor new hemorrhages were reported during the follow-up period.

Discussion

The use of intravitreal ranibizumab for the treatment of CNV in patients with angioid streaks has shown favorable results. However, further studies with a longer follow-up and larger number of patients are necessary to more precisely determine the results of this therapy.

Keywords:
Angioid streaks
Choroidal neovascularization
Ranibizumab
Lucentis
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum
Resumen
Caso clínico

Se expone el caso de dos hermanos que presentaron neovascularización coroidea asociada a estrías angioides. Ambos pacientes fueron tratados con una inyección mensual de ranibizumab (Lucentis®) intravítrea durante tres meses. La visión se estabilizó y la angiografía fluoresceínica mostró resolución completa de la neovascularización coroidea. Durante el seguimiento, no observamos recurrencia del cuadro.

Discusión

El uso de ranibizumab intravítreo en caso de neovascularización coroidea asociada a estrías angioides ha mostrado resultados favorables. No obstante, serán necesarias series de casos mayores que nos permitan conocer la verdadera eficacia de este tratamiento.
