Abstract

A case is presented of a 61-year-old man with a personal history of serpiginous choroiditis (SC), who presented with metamorphopsia and decreased visual acuity (VA) in his right eye (RE). In the examination, using Swept Source OCT-angiography (SS OCT-A), peripapillary hemorrhage secondary to a choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) was observed. The patient was treated with intravitreal aflibercept, having a favorable outcome on his symptomatology and in the SS OCT-A findings.

CNV is a complication that can appear in up to 25% of cases after SC. An accurate diagnosis using SS OCT-A, with early treatment with aflibercept, led us to obtain optimal clinical and anatomical results.

Resumen

Varón de 61 años, con antecedentes personales de coroiditis serpiginosa (CS), que presentó metamorfopsia y disminución de agudeza visual (AV) en su ojo derecho (OD). En la exploración, mediante Swept-Source OCT-angiografía (SS OCT-A), se pudo observar una hemorragia peripapilar secundaria a una neovascularización coroidea (NVC). El paciente fue tratado mediante aflibercept intravítreo, presentando una evolución favorable en su sintomatología y en los hallazgos de la SS OCT-A.

La NVC es una complicación que puede aparecer hasta en el 25% de los casos tras CS. Un diagnóstico preciso, mediante SS OCT-A, unido al tratamiento precoz con aflibercept, nos llevó a obtener unos óptimos resultados, tanto clínicos como anatómicos.
