Intravitreal triamcinolone in the treatment of serous pigment epithelial detachment and occult choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose. To report two cases of occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and serous pigment epithelial detachment (PED) treated with intravitreal triamcinolone (IVT) injections. Methods. Interventional case reports. Results. Both patients showed anincrease in visual acuity and a complete flattening of the PED at 10 months (Case 1) and 4 months (Case 2) after IVT injections. No complications or adverse effects are reported. Conclusions. Future studies should be designed to investigate if IVT can effectively influence the clinical and functional outcome of eyes with serous PED and occult CNV secondary to age-related macular degeneration, for which at the moment no treatment has been shown to be effective.
