EXUDATIVE RETINAL DETACHMENT CAUSED BY A CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULAR MEMBRANE IN HALLERMANN-STREIFF SYNDROME

Retin Cases Brief Rep. 2018;12(1):45-47. doi: 10.1097/ICB.0000000000000411.

Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of exudative retinal detachment caused by a choroidal neovascular membrane in Hallermann-Streiff syndrome.

Methods: The authors report a 7-year-old white male with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome who developed exudative retinal detachments secondary to choroidal neovascular membrane that resolved after off-label use of intravitreal injections of bevacizumab 1.25 mg.

Conclusion: Patients with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome and exudative retinal detachment present with choroidal neovascular membrane can respond well with intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor.
