Long-term Follow-up of Surgical Removal of Extensive Peripapillary Choroidal Neovascularization in Presumed Ocular Histoplasmosis Syndrome

The data from this small retrospective study suggest that surgical removal may provide visual benefit in selected cases of extensive peripapillary choroidal neovascularization associated with POHS. Surgical removal of extensive peripapillary choroidal neovascularization does appear preferable to photoablation. Given the likelihood of multiple treatments with photodynamic therapy or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapies, surgical removal provides a potentially efficacious treatment with low recurrence rates and good visual results.
