Characteristics of Perifoveal Exudative Vascular Anomalous Complex in Korean Patients.

Abstract:

:Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of perifoveal exudative vascular anomalous complex (PEVAC) in Korean patients. Methods: This retrospective study included 8 eyes (8 patients) diagnosed with PEVAC. Demographic characteristics of the patients, fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine-green angiography (ICGA) findings were analyzed. Available follow-up data were also reviewed. Results: The mean ± standard deviation age was 61.0 ± 11.0 years and mean logarithm of minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) best-corrected visual acuity was 0.15 ± 0.14. PEVAC was noted in 2 eyes with coincident age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and in the fellow eye of 1 eye with unilateral type 3 neovascularization. On fundus photography, PEVAC presented as a perifoveal isolated aneurysm associated with retinal exudation and hemorrhage. Well-defined hyperfluorescent lesions with leakage were noted on fluorescein angiography, but no leakage was observed on ICGA. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy was performed for 2 patients. However, there was no notable improvement after treatment. Conclusions: The clinical characteristics of PEVAC in Korean patients were similar to those reported in patients of other ethnicities. Further studies are needed to better understand the nature of this newly described clinical entity.
