Résumé
To investigate the etiologies and characteristics of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in young Chinese patients. A retrospective review of young Chinese patients (< 50 years of age) with CNV from January 2010 to June 2016 was performed. Of the 501 patients (537 eyes) with CNV, 58.7% were female, and 7.2% had bilateral CNV. The mean age was 35 years. The etiologies were idiopathic CNV (ICNV, 43.9%), pathologic myopia (PM, 21.9%), punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC, 17.4%), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (4.4%), multifocal choroiditis with panuveitis (3.6%), and other disorders (8.8%). Five hundred and six CNVs (94.2%) showed a predominantly classic CNV composition on fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and 316 CNVs (96.6%) were type 2 CNV on optical coherence tomography (OCT). The etiologies of CNV in young Chinese patients were diverse, and ICNV, PM, and PIC were the three most common etiologies. Most CNVs were classic on FFA and type 2 on OCT.
