%X Caso cl赤nico: Var車n de 70 a os diagnosticado de distrofia foveomacular viteliforme del adulto (DFVA) que en el curso de su enfermedad presenta disminuci車n brusca de visi車n en el ojo izquierdo coincidiendo con la aparici車n de una membrana neovascular oculta. Dada la localizaci車n yuxtafoveal de la membrana, se decidi車 tratar con ranibizumab intrav赤treo, siendo necesarias 2 inyecciones para lograr el cierre completo de la lesi車n neovascular. Discusi車n: El uso de ranibizumab intrav赤treo puede ser una opci車n de tratamiento eficaz en la neovascularizaci車n coroidea secundaria a DFVA, y se precisan series de casos m芍s amplias para poder confirmar esta observaci車n. Case report: A 70-year-old male patient diagnosed with bilateral adult-onset vitelliform dystrophy presented with a sudden decrease of vision in his left eye associated with the appearance of an occult type of neovascular membrane. It was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab due to juxtafoveal location of the membrane. Two injections were needed to induce total regression of the lesion. Discussion: Intravitreal ranibizumab may be effective to induce morphological and functional improvement in cases of choroidal neovascularization secondary to adult-onset vitelliform foveomacular dystrophy. Further case series are required to confirm this observation.
