Аннотация
PURPOSE: To report pathologic examination of an excised choroidal neovascular membrane in a patient with ocular histoplasmosis syndrome that demonstrated granulomatous inflammation.
METHOD: Case report. A 50-year-old woman with sudden vision loss in her left eye demonstrated clinical and fluorescein angiographic findings characteristic of choroidal neovascularization secondary to ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.
RESULTS: Histopathologic examination of the surgically excised choroidal neovascular membrane disclosed granulomatous inflammation.
CONCLUSIONS: This case suggests an important role of mononuclear phagocytic cells as primary mediators of angiogenesis or modifiers of choroidal neovascularization. This association of choroidal neovascularization with granulomatous inflammation did not respond to treatment with systemic corticosteroids.
