The present study reports a case of a patient with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). We observed the functional and anatomical improvement of the patient treated with intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor bevacizumab. The study also systematically searched the database for similar cases to provide a literature review. Data concerning the clinical features, treatment strategies and outcomes were extracted and analyzed. Retrospective interventional case report and systematic literature review. A 56-year-old healthy Chinese woman with CNV secondary to PXE was reported. Examinations included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography and digital fundus photography. The patient managed with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections (bevacizumab 1.25 mg/0.05 mL). The Cochrane Library, PubMed, OVID, and UpToDate databases were searched using the term pseudoxanthoma elasticum or Gr?nblad-Strandberg syndrome with the limits English. Articles that predated the databases were gathered from current references. Fundus examination revealed angioid streaks bilaterally and CNV in left eye (LE). After the patient underwent three intravitreal injections of bevacizumab, the LE showed absorption of the subretinal fluid and shrinkage of the CNV. Visual acuity (VA) was improved in her treated LE. Bevacizumab treatment was well tolerated with no adverse events reported. Approximately ten articles about 45 patients (49 eyes) describing CNV secondary to angioid streaks in PXE treated with anti-VEGF were found in the literature search. In the present case, bevacizumab of an initial three injection loading dose, achieved maintenance of visual function in the treatment of CNV associated with angioid streaks in PXE. Literature articles concluded that the intravitreal application of anti-VEGF is highly efficient for improving and stabilizing the lesion as well as the eyesight. So we believe that anti-VEGF therapy can be a great choice of treatment for CNV secondary to angioid streaks related PXE.

A 45-year-old female presented with typical features of posterior scleritis in her left eye with visual acuity of 20/252. After treatment with oral steroids and immunosuppressive drugs, at 2 months follow-up, posterior scleritis resolved and visual acuity improved to 20/50. Five months later she presented with vision loss (20/160) associated with active choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) close to scar. Significant choroidal thinning (subfoveal choroidal thickness =137 microns), compared to fellow eye (subfoveal choroidal thickness =247 microns) was noted. Two doses of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) were given at 1 month interval. At 9 months follow-up, her visual acuity was maintained at 20/160 with scarred CNVM. In conclusion, IVB is safe and efficacious in treatment of inflammatory CNVM secondary to posterior scleritis. Choroidal changes after posterior scleritis could be contributory factor for formation of CNVM.

息肉样脉络膜血管病变(polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy,PCV)是一种以脉络膜异常分支血管网和血管末端息肉状脉络膜血管扩张灶为特征的眼底疾病。(indocyanine green angiography,ICGA)是诊断PCV的金标准，可见异常分支血管网、息肉样高荧光。(optical coherence tomography,OCT)可见色素上皮脱离(pigment epithelial detachments,PED)、双层征、指状突起、PED切迹、脉络膜增厚等。基于 OCT 的影像学研究表明，PCV属于肥厚型脉络膜谱系疾病(pachychoroid disease spectrum,PCD)，其特征是脉络膜增厚、脉络膜大血管层(Haller层)扩张，伴有毛细血管层(Ruysch层)和中血管层(Sattler层)变薄，其发病机制可能涉及脉络膜、涡静脉、巩膜等相关改变。

局限性脉络膜凹陷(focal choroidal excavation,FCE)是表现为光感受器细胞层、视网膜色素上皮层向脉络膜层凹陷的眼底病变。发病机制多认为是先天脉络膜发育异常、炎症或感染。基于光学相干断层扫描(optical coherence tomography,OCT)，可将FCE从光感受器尖端与视网膜色素上皮层是否分离、形态特征或中央脉络膜厚度三种方式对其进行分类。FCE常合并脉络膜新生血管等疾病。该文对FCE的临床研究现状做一综述。

Focal choroidal excavation (FCE) is a retinopathy, expressing with a depression in photoreceptor cell layer and retinal pigment layer towards the choroidal layer. The pathogenesis is recongized as congenital choroidal developmental abnormalities, inflammation, or infection. Based on optical coherence tomography (OCT), FCE can be classified by three methods: the situation of photoreceptor separating from the retinal pigment upper cortex, morphological features, or central choroidal thickness. FCE is usually associated with other diseases such as choroidal neovascularization. This article reviews the current clinical research on FCE.

目的：比较水合氯醛和阿佛丁两种药物对小鼠的麻醉作用以及不同激光能量对脉络膜新生血管造模成功率的影响。方法：24只C57/BL6小鼠随机分为3组，分别予以200，300和400 mW的532 nm激光进行视网膜光凝；每组再按1:1分为2个亚组，随机使用4.3%水合氯醛或1.2%阿佛丁进行小鼠腹腔注射麻醉。在激光光凝后第4，7，1 0和1 4天进行视网膜荧光素造影(Fundus Fluorescein Angiography，FFA)、SD-OCT检查，在第1 4天时对脉络膜行IB4染色检查。结果：阿佛丁和水合氯醛诱导小鼠进入麻醉时间长分别为(120±30) s和(150±45) s，持续时间分别为(30±15) min和(50±20) min，差异均有统计学意义(均P=0.0001)；发生不可逆性白内障的比率分别为2/24和1/24，麻醉导致的死亡数分别为1和0只，差异均无统计学意义(P =0.551，P =0.300)。200，300和400 mW三个激光能量组的造模成功率分别为9.38%，37.5%和93.75%，差异有统计学意义(P=0.0001)。FFA显示：造模成功的小鼠在4 d时荧光素渗漏达到高峰，随后荧光素溢漏的面积逐渐减小。结论：与阿佛丁相比，水合氯醛对小鼠的麻醉维持时间长且不会增加病死率和不可逆性白内障的发生率；400 mW的532 nm激光能量是诱发CNV的较好设置。

Objective: To compare the narcotic effects of chloral hydrate and avertin in mouse models and the success rate of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) mouse model establishment with different energy hierarchy of laser. Methods: Twenty-four mice were randomized into 3 groups, the 532 nm laser was used with different power levels of 200, 300 and 400 mW for each group. In each group, the chloral hydrate was used for 4 mice and avertin for the other 4 mice at random. On day 4, 7, 10 and 14, all mice were tested by the fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), SD-OCT, and the choroid was stained with the isolectin B4 conjugated AF488 on day 14. Results: The anesthesia induction time of avertin and chloral hydrate was (120±30) s and (150±45) s, and the duration of anesthesia was (30±15) min and (50±20) min, the differences were statistically significant (all P=0.0001); the incidence of irreversible cataract of avertin models and chloral hydrate models was 2/24 and 1/24, the number of death in two models was 1 and without statistical significance (P=0.551, P=0.300). With the increase of laser energy, the success rate of experiments was also gradually increased, from 9.38%, 37.5% to 93.75% (P=0.0001) in 200, 300 and 400 mW group, respectively. According to the results of FFA, the peak of fluorescence leaking was at day 4 after the laser burning, and was gradually reduced. Conclusion: Compared with avertin chloral hydrate can improve the duration of anesthesia without increasing the risk of cataract and mortality. As for the 532 nm laser, the 400 mW energy could be an optimal parameter for the laser-induced CNV.

眼结核的表现形式多样，有时会被误诊漏诊。本病例为一年轻男性，以右眼视力突发下降为主诉就诊，眼部表现可见黄斑区脉络膜占位病灶及视网膜内小病灶，经γ-干扰素释放试验、胸部CT等检查，确诊为血型播散性肺结核，眼部诊断为结核性脉络膜结节联合视网膜结节，全身接受抗结核治疗后，眼部病灶消退。

Ocular tuberculosis encompasses a variety of clinical manifestations, which is easily misdiagnosed sometimes. In this article, a young male was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of sudden blurred vision in his right eye. His ocular examination detected a tiny mass in the choroid and a small lesion in the retina. After interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) and chest CT scan, the patient was diagnosed with military tuberculosis. The ocular examination confirmed the diagnosis of choroidal tubercle complicated with intrarentinal tubercle, which were healed after systemic anti-tuberculosis therapy.

报道1例人类免疫缺陷病毒(human immunodeficiency virus，HIV)眼部巨细胞病毒性视网膜炎(cytomegalovirus retinitis，CMVR)合并脉络膜结核瘤感染患者，主因双眼视物模糊2周就诊。经眼部检查发现右眼底颞侧视网膜广泛黄白色颗粒样病变，病灶边界可见黄白色奶酪样渗出，左眼下方视网膜大片黄白色渗出伴出血。在随访半年后发现左眼视网膜脉络膜隆起病灶，根据其全身及眼部临床特征，诊断为双眼CMVR伴左眼脉络膜结核瘤，予全身抗病毒及结核治疗后随访1年余，全身情况及眼部病灶稳定。

A case of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) complicated with choroidal tuberculoma infection was reported. The patient visited hospital due to bilateral blurred vision for 2 weeks. Ocular examination showed extensive yellowish-white granular lesions in the temporal retina of the right fundus, with yellowish-white cheese-like exudation at the border of the lesion, and a large yellowish-white exudation with hemorrhage at the lower part of the left eye’s retina. After six months of follow-up, the patient was found to have a retinal choroid hump in the left eye. Based on her systemic and ocular clinical features, the patient was diagnosed as bilateral CMVR with choroidal tuberculoma of the left eye. The patient had her follow up check-up a year after her systemic antiviral and anti-tuberculosis treatment with her general condition stable and ocular lesions treated.

息肉状脉络膜血管病变(polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy，PCV)是亚洲人中常见的眼底致盲性疾病，当PCV合并视网膜下出血或玻璃体积血(vitreous hemorrhage，VH)时，患者视力骤然下降，视力预后差异大。但目前聚焦于PCV合并VH的相关文献较少，因此研究和阐明PCV继发VH的治疗方法及预后具有重要的临床意义。目前临床上常选择手术干预，玻璃体切除术(pars plana vitrectomy，PPV)是临床上最常选择的一种术式。其他治疗方式包括玻璃体内注射抗血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor，VEGF)、眼内气体或硅油填充、眼内注射组织纤溶酶原激活剂(tissue plasminogen activator，tPA)和光动力疗法(photodynamic therapy，PDT)。PCV合并VH患者的视力预后决定因素是黄斑视功能的保留程度，也与年龄、术前视力、PCV病变部位、视网膜下出血量、视网膜脱离范围、基线黄斑中心厚度(central macular thickness，CMT)、是否出现术后并发症以及是否形成视网膜瘢痕等因素相关，目前也有研究发现视力预后与单核苷酸多态性(single nucleotide polymorphisms，SNP)相关。本文就PCV继发VH的临床特点、治疗及预后进行综述。

Polypoid choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a common fundus blinding disease in Asians. When PCV is associated with subretinal hemorrhage or vitreous hemorrhage (VH), patient's visual acuity decreases suddenly and the visual prognosis varies greatly. There are few relevant literatures focusing on VH secondary to PCV, so it is of great clinical significance to study and clarify the treatment methods and prognosis of VH secondary to PCV. At present, surgical intervention is often selected in clinical practice. Vitrectomy is the most commonly selected surgical procedure in clinical practice. The other treatment modalities include intravitreal injection of antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), intraocular gas or silicone oil filling, intraocular injection of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and photodynamic therapy. The prognostic determinant of visual acuity in PCV

patients with VH is the degree of preservation of macular visual function. The prognostic is also related to age, preoperative visual acuity, PCV lesion location, amount of subretinal hemorrhage, extent of retinal detachment, baseline central macular thickness (CMT), postoperative complications and retinal scars. Recent studies also find that the prognosis of visual acuity is related to single nucleotide polymorphisms. This article reviews the clinical characteristics, treatment and visual prognosis of PCV associated with VH.
