Maurice F. Rabb » Subfoveal Neovascular Membrane Bridging Fibrotic Band

Oct 4 2013 by Maurice F. Rabb

Acuity OD of 20/800 and OS 20/20. Manifest refraction shows anisometropia: OD +6.50 and OS + 0.75 spheres. The macula of the right eye has a dense fibrotic cicatricial subfoveal scar with mottling of pigment epithelium in the perifoveal area. There is a bridging fibrotic band that extends in the 10 o'clock meridian to the posterior equator tenting up retinal vessels between the two areas. The fluorescein angiogram done has the frames 20-25 reversed on the positive so that they are all of the right eye. The remainder are correctly oriented and show a subfoveal neovascular membrane with surrounding serous fluid overlying residual exudate. There is the fibrotic band that can be seen in the 10:00 o'clock meridian in the late photographs where retinal vessels under traction from the subretinal band leak somewhat.

Condition/keywords: bridging fibrotic band, subfoveal neovascular membrane, supertemporal equator
