“…In addition, they indicated that NV is an important reason for blindness in 42–84% of eyes with AS. Cebeci et al 3 showed that any type of NV, including polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, can develop in eyes with AS.…”

“…Any type of neovascularization (NV), the major cause of AS-associated vision loss, can develop in an eye with AS. 2 , 3 Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noveltechnique that can detect NV, noninvasively. 4 OCTA is thought to be useful tool for early detection of NV, as it is able to identify these lesions even in asymptomatic patients with AS, reported by Andreanos et al 5 …”

PurposeTo present the multimodal imaging characteristics including optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) as well as indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) of quiescent type 1 neovascularization (NV) in an asymptomatic eye with angioid streaks (AS).ObservationsA 67-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic for routine eye examination. The presence of a quiescent type 1 NV was detected on both ICGA and OCTA in juxtafoveal localization under the retinal pigment epitheliumin the right eye. At the end of the one year of follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and the type 1 NV was still quiescent.Conclusions and ImportanceIn comparison to ICGA, OCTA seems to be an easily repeatable non-invasive imaging tool which enables us early detection and monitoring of type 1 NV lesions even in asymptomatic patients with AS.

“…In more recent years, the development of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) secondary to ASs has been reported [ 3 , 5 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ]. They seem to have developed in patients with ASs associated with PXE [ 3 , 5 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ]. Furthermore, the coexistence of retinal telangiectasia with ASs associated with sickle cell hemoglobinopathy has been reported [ 3 , 61 ].…”

Aim: Angioid streaks (ASs) are a rare retinal condition and compromise visual acuity when complicated with choroidal neovascularization (CNV). They represent crack-like dehiscences at the level of the Bruch’s membrane. This objective narrative review aims to provide an overview of pathophysiology, current treatment modalities, and future perspectives on this condition. Materials and Methods: A literature search was performed using “PubMed”, “Web of Science”, “Scopus”, “ScienceDirect”, “Google Scholar”, “medRxiv”, and “bioRxiv.” Results: ASs may be idiopathic, but they are also associated with systemic conditions, such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum, hereditary hemoglobinopathies, or Paget’s disease. Currently, the main treatment is the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGF) to treat secondary CNV, which is the major complication observed in this condition. If CNV is detected and treated promptly, patients with ASs have a good chance of maintaining functional vision. Other treatment modalities have been tried but have shown limited benefit and, therefore, have not managed to be more widely accepted. Conclusion: In summary, although there is no definitive cure yet, the use of anti-VEGF treatment for secondary CNV has provided the opportunity to maintain functional vision in individuals with AS, provided that CNV is detected and treated early.
