Hereditary Retinal Dystrophies

Hereditary retinal dystrophies have various inheritance patterns and varying degrees of impact on vision. Although uncommon, the retinal dystrophy may progress significantly over time and some patients might develop visual impairment due to atrophic changes or the development of a choroidal neovascular membrane at the macula. The purpose of this review is to outline the main retinal dystrophies that are associated with choroidal neovascularization.

Endothelial Growth Factor

The therapeutic approach based on anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) molecules can be used to treat two important complications of retinal dystrophies: choroidal neovascularization and macular edema. The macular involvement in retinal dystrophies can lead to further visual deterioration in patients at a young age and already affected by functional limitations. The study reports the effect of anti-VEGF treatment in several subforms of retinal dystrophies, critically discussing advantages and limitations.

Purpose. To present a case of a patient with pattern dystrophy (PD) associated choroidal neovascularization (CNV) that resolved spontaneously without treatment.Methods. A 69-year-old male patient was referred to our unit, for evaluation of a recent visual loss (metamorphopsias) in his left eye. Fundus examination, fundus autofluorescence imaging, and fluorescein angiography showed a choroidal neovascular membrane in his left eye. Since visual acuity was satisfactory the patient elected observation. Clinical examination and OCT testing were repeated at 6 and 12 months after presentation.Results. Visual acuity remained stable at the level of 0.9 (baseline BCVA) during the follow-up period (12 months). Repeat OCT testing showed complete spontaneous regression of the choroidal neovascular membrane without evidence of intra- or subretinal fluid in both follow-up visits.Conclusions. Spontaneous regression of choroidal neovascularization can occur in patients with retinal dystrophies and associated choroidal neovascular membranes. The decision to treat or observe these patients relies strongly on the presenting visual acuity, since, in isolated instances, spontaneous resolution of choroidal neovascularization may occur.
