Purpose
A quick case presentation, to emphasize the importance of a careful and methodical ophthalmologic examination for any patient. For a better and especially an early management without delay
Setting
Department of Ophtalmology A, Specialty hospital of RABAT, Mohamed V University of Rabat, MOROCCO.
Methods
A case presentation of a 62-year-old man who consulted for progressive loss of vision in both eyes, with no ophthalmological or any medical history.
Results
The BCVA was light perception OU. Papillary reaction to light was sluggish OS and normal OU.
Ocular motility was full OU with normal IOP. Slit-lamp examination showed bilateral white mature cataract. High magnification revealed a vascular network composed of fine vessels located nasally adjacent to the papillary border on the anterior capsule of the lens associated with pigment deposits and loss of the papillary frill. There was no evidence of NVI or the angle neurovascular assessment (NVA).
Ocular ultrasound was normal. Ancilliary testing for diagnosis of common aetiologies of anterior segment neovascularisation revealed type2 diabetes. After six months, we removed the cataract by PKE. FFA showed posterior segment ischemia with NVE.
Conclusions
Thus, nerve conduction velocity (NVC) was the solely sign of anterior segment neovascularisation.
