Abstract
The diagnosis of RAP is similar with the diagnosis of the AMD, but PED, exudate and superficial hemorrhages are more common in RAP. A 75-year-old male presented himself at the Ophthalmology Department of the Emergency County Hospital in Craiova in January 2015, with a 4 months history of vision loss. In his right eye the visual acuity was 4/50 eye non-optical correctable and 5/5 with optical correction in the left eye. According to the FA and OCT that were performed in both eyes, in the right eye was found intraretinal neovascularization and sub and intraretinal fluid. A normal aspect was found in the left eye. After the investigations we decided to start the treatment consisting in one single intravitreal injection with Triamcinolone Acetonide (IVTA) in the right eye. The VA improved 1 week after the treatment from 4/50 to 5/30. In comparison with the improved VA, the macular edema gradually resorbed 1 month after the IVTA injection. In spite of the late presentation of the patient in the Ophthalmology Department, the VA and OCT outcome after a single dose of IVTA injection was very good.Entities:
