Combination photodynamic therapy and juxtascleral triamcinolone acetonide for the treatment of a peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane associated with papilloedema

摘要

Peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation is an uncommon entity that can be associated with significant visual loss. It has been noted with papilloedema resulting from pseudo-tumour cerebri. Treatment for peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation has involved observation, thermal laser photocoagulation, or surgical excision.2 We report a case of peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation from papilloedema secondary to pseudotu-mour cerebri that was successfully treated with combination photodynamic therapy and juxtascleral triamcinolone acetonide.
