研究目的
To provide a comprehensive overview of the imaging characteristics, epidemiology, clinical features, and management options of inflammatory choroidal neovascular membranes.
研究成果
The review concludes that multimodal imaging, especially optical coherence tomography angiography, is crucial for the diagnosis and management of i-CNV. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents are the first-line therapy, but controlling inflammation is essential for optimal outcomes. The review emphasizes the need for further research to improve understanding and treatment of i-CNV.
研究不足
The review is based on existing literature and lacks original experimental data. The rarity of i-CNV and heterogeneous patient profiles limit the availability of randomized controlled trials. The review highlights the need for further studies to establish clear guidelines for the use of immunosuppressive therapies and to explore the full potential of optical coherence tomography angiography in i-CNV.
