| Abstract |
PURPOSE
We present a case of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) complicated by Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome. METHODS: A 46-year-old male who had bilateral subfoveal CNV complicated by Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome underwent 3 sessions of PDT with verteporfin in 1 year. RESULTS: After 3 sessions of PDT with verteporfin, maintenance of visual acuity was achieved without any complication as alteration of retinal pigment epithelium and aggravation of intraocular inflammation, but subfoveal fibrosis developed. CONCLUSIONS: PDT with verteporfin is a good treatment method without any complication for the CNV complicated by Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, even though multiple sessions were needed. |
