Abstract
- PURPOSE To report a case of Kenny-Caffey syndrome with peripapillary choroidal neovascularization. METHODS An observational case report with clinical findings demonstrated by wide-field retinal photographic and angiographic evaluation of a patient with Kenny-Caffey syndrome. RESULTS Wide-field retinal photography and fluorescein angiography showed characteristic findings seen in Kenny-Caffey syndrome (crowded optic nerves, retinal vascular tortuosity). In addition, the previously undocumented finding of peripapillary choroidal neovascularization is demonstrated. CONCLUSION The development of peripapillary choroidal neovascularization can occur in patients with Kenny-Caffey syndrome. The development of this finding may be secondary to abnormalities of the optic nerve inherent in this rare disorder.
