BACKGROUND: The objective was to report a case of pseudoxanthoma elasticum associated with type 2A idiopathic juxtafoveolar telangiectasis (T2AIJT) complicated by bilateral subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM). METHODS: The right eye with juxtafoveal SRNVM and the left eye with subfoveal SRNVM underwent laser photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy respectively. The follow-up duration was 48 months. RESULTS: Best corrected visual acuity was 20/32 in both eyes at baseline, and 20/32 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye at the end of the follow-up. Atrophic changes in the retinal pigment epithelium developed around the SRNVM treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT). CONCLUSIONS: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum may be associated with T2AIJT complicated by bilateral SRNVM. Further studies are needed to assess both efficacy and appropriate PDT regime in T2AIJT-related SRNVM, especially if associated with other conditions.
