State of the art spatial visualization of the response of neovascularisation to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To visualize the mode of action of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGFs) therapy on retinal neovascularization (RNV) in a patient with macular telangiectasia (MacTel) type 2 using a detailed three-dimensional data environment.

Observation

A 60-year-old man presented with visual acuity loss and was diagnosed with MacTel type 2. Fluorescein angiography was not possible for safety reasons because of a history of severe reaction to fluorescein dye at his referring hospital. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging revealed new retinal neovascular membranes (RNV) in the macula of both eyes. A marked reduction in the size of the RNV in both eyes was evident on volume-rendered three-dimensional OCTA retinal imaging after the first ant
