Choroidal neovascularization complicating sclerochoroidal calcifications

Purpose: Sclerochoroidal calcifications (SCC) are rare conditions characterized by unifocal or multifocal well-defined scleral deposits of calcium. The present study describes two cases of SCC complicated by the onset of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Method: Five patients affected by SCC were...

The present study describes two cases of SCC complicated by the onset of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Method: Five patients affected by SCC were enrolled in the study and two cases were complicated by CNV. Both patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination with multimodal imaging including optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Results: In the two patients with CNV (1 male), BCVA was 20/40 and 20/50 in the affected eyes. Fundus examination revealed an irregular yellow-white lesion close to the superotemporal arcade in both patients, with exudation. The diagnosis of CNV was performed by means of fluorescein angiography in one patient and OCTA in the other patient. The patients received a total of 3 and 9 ranibizumab injections respectively over a six-year follow-up, reaching a final BCVA of 20/25 in both patients with stabilization of the CNV. Conclusions: SCC may be complicated by CNV, with good management obtained by intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.Maurizio Battaglia ParodiAlessandro ArrigoAdelaide PinaFrancesca CalcagnoAlessio AntropoliRashid Hassan FarahFrancesco BandelloAhmad M.
