choroidal neovascularization

The surgery works best when the abnormal blood vessels (choroidal neovascularization) are clustered close together in a specific area.

This is called choroidal neovascularization.

The loss of vision in POHS is caused by choroidal neovascularization.

These streaks can have a negative impact on vision due to choroidal neovascularization or choroidal rupture.

Hence, all cases had soft drusen present but lacked the advanced lesions of geographic atrophy or choroidal neovascularization.

Characteristics of choroidal neovascularization in the complications of age-related macular degeneration prevention trial.

It is possible for mild pigmentation change to appear and rarely for choroidal neovascularization to occur as a late onset complication.

Argon lasers were used to induce choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in rat models.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum, myopia and trauma can also cause defects in Bruch's membrane which may lead to choroidal neovascularization.

Found in vertebrates, this 50 kDa protein is being researched as a therapeutic candidate for treatment of such conditions as choroidal neovascularization, heart disease, and cancer.

Most patients with choroidal neovascularization lose vision or at best maintain vision despite treatment with laser, photodynamic therapy or Macugen.

In ophthalmology, choroidal neovascularization is the formation of a microvasculature within the innermost layer of the choroid of the eye.

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the creation of new blood vessels in the choroid layer of the eye.

These leaky blood vessels may contribute to macular edema and choroidal neovascularization, resulting in the wet type of AMD.

It is mainly associated with macular degeneration, particularly age-related macular degeneration with choroidal neovascularization.

Rarely, choroidal neovascularization may develop as the juxtapapillary nerve fibers are disrupted, with subsequent subretinal hemorrhage and retinal scarring.

Other less common causes of visual loss include retinal detachment, glaucoma, band keratopathy, cataract, vitreous hemorrhage, epiretinal membrane and choroidal neovascularization.

What happens with PIC depends a lot on the presence or absence of an important complication, Choroidal neovascularization (known as CNV).

Reports indicate substantially better outcomes in patients treated with intravitreal Lucentis than conventional treatments in people with choroidal neovascularization (wet age related macular degeneration).

It is characterised by changes in pigmentation in the Retinal Pigment Epithelium, the appearance of drusen on the retina of the eye and choroidal neovascularization.

Photodynamic therapy of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration with verteporfin: Two-year results of two randomized clinical trials-TAP report 2.

PEDF, a protein with many functions, has been suggested to play a clinical role in choroidal neovascularization, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, diabetic macular edema, osteogenesis imperfecta and cancer.

Molecules that shift the balance towards PEDF and away from VEGF may prove useful tools in both choroidal neovascularization and preventing cancer metastasis formation.
