A 60 year-old man with poorly controlled JAK2+ polycythaemia vera (PV) on hydroxyurea presented with progressive bilateral vision loss. Fundoscopy revealed bilateral choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) with subtle radial streaks emanating from the optic discs (A). Fundus autofluorescence (B) elegantly demonstrated the angioid streaks with striking perilesional hyperautofluorescence - a hallmark of RPE metabolic stress. On optical coherence tomography, the right eye showed active neovascularisation with intra- & subretinal fluid, responding favourably to intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy. The left eye exhibited atrophic changes precluding treatment. This case underscores a rare but sight-threatening complication of PV.

An interesting case of a 60 year-old man, who is diagnosed to have Diabetic macular edema - being treated with Ozurdex implant. Here, we see the former implant, laying in the vitreous after serving its purpose, making way for the second newly injected implant to start its miracle - like a shadow lurking past - The Deja Vu of Life.

77 year old female with amelanotic choroidal lesion with subretinal hemorrhage at the base and exudate inferiorly. Lesion has decreased on exam, photos and ultrasound after 4 months. Ultrasound showed irregular lesion that is regressing, variable internal reflectivity, and no venous pulsations. Findings most consistent with PEHCR. Will continue to observe.

Prev. getting injections, last one in 2024 at external provider. Hx of liver hemangiomas on CT/MRI in 2018: no known follow-up for this. Hx of migraine headaches longstanding without hemangiomas noted on brain MRI in 2018. CTA head/neck neg in 2021. No hx or Fhx of VHL. NVE/shunt vessels inferiorly on FA today. Discussed option of restarting antiVEGF or laser. Pt would like to observe for now given stability. Will consider antiVEGF/Laser/belzutifan in future. Referral to medical genetics to eval for VHL. Recommend obtain MRI brain, spine w/wo con, CTAbd w/wo con to eval for systemic hemangiomas. Will likely refer to Ocular Onc pending these results. Also consider GI referral given liver hemangiomas since 2018. Pt already established with Neurology for migraines.
