To report combined treatment of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin an d intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection for subfoveal neovascularizatio n secondary to bilateral idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasis. Interventional c ase report. A patient with a subfoveal neovascularization secondary to bilateral idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasis was treated with PDT plus an intravitreal injection of 4 mg of triamcinolone acetonide. Leakage in the late phase of flu orescein angiography resolved with attenuation of telangiectatic vessels and imp rovement in visual acuity from 20/200 to 20/50. At 9 months post treatment, rec urrent leakage was treated with repeat PDT and intravitreal triamcinolone. One y ear after initial presentation, visual acuity was 20/60 with no leakage on fluor escein. Combined treatment with PDT and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide res ulted in regression of a subfoveal neovascular membrane and improvement in visua l acuity during the course of follow up.
