Photodynamic therapy for best disease complicated by choroidal neovascularization in children.
PURPOSE: To describe the results of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) in children.
METHODS: Five eyes of four children diagnosed as having BVMD complicated by CNV received a single session of PDT. Response to treatment was monitored with fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography.
RESULTS: All eyes responded well to one session of PDT with significant increases in visual acuity in four of the five eyes. Increase or stabilization of visual acuity was preserved during a mean follow-up period of 25 months.
CONCLUSION: PDT may be an effective treatment for CNV associated with BVMD in children.
