Laser Treatment of Macular Subretinal Neovascularizations in Angioid Streaks

View through CrossRef
A serous hemorrhagic maculopathy with a subretinal neovascular membrane appears in about 70% of cases of angioid streaks. In this study a series of 60 eyes (31 patients) was reviewed. In 13 eyes macular subretinal neovascularizations were photocoagulated with blue-green argon laser, green argon laser, dye laser (rhodamine 6G) at 590 nm and red krypton laser. The authors present and discuss the results obtained and suggest that photocoagulation of subretinal new vessels not involving the fovea can be worth performing.
