Choroidal Changes and Choroidal Neovascularization in Pathological Myopia

Among the complications of pathological myopia, myopic macular neovascularization (mMNV) is one of the most vision-threatening complications. Despite significant advances in understanding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and natural history of the disease, there is no standard definition of mMNV. Although the sensitivity of mMNV diagnosis increases to 97% with the combined use of fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography, multimodal imaging is valuable in differential diagnosis. Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has become the standard and first-line treatment option for mMNV. Continued monitoring of patients is required to assess any progression or recurrence.

Abstract

Among the complications of pathological myopia, myopic macular neovascularization (mMNV) is one of the most vision-threatening complications. Despite significant advances in understanding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and natural history of the disease, there is no standard definition of mMNV. Although the sensitivity of mMNV diagnosis increases to 97% with the combined use of fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography, multimodal imaging is valuable in differential diagnosis. Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has become the standard and first-line treatment option for mMNV. Continued monitoring of patients is required to assess any progression or recurrence.
