Long-term follow-up of a case of choroidal neovascularization secondary to reticular pigmentary retinal dystrophy

Abstract

ABSTRACT Reticular pigmentary retinal dystrophy, also known as Sjögren’s reticular dystrophy, is a rare condition characterized by macular lesions with a reticular pattern, which are best seen on fluorescein angiogram. Choroidal neovascularization secondary to this type of dystrophy is even less common. This report describes a case of reticular pigmentary retinal dystrophy with vision loss due to neovascular membrane, which responded well to treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor.
