Abstract |
Purpose |
To describe a patient treated with photodynamic therapy for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to choroidal nevus.
Design |
Interventional case report.
Methods |
A 61-year-old woman presented with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to choroidal nevus and best-corrected visual acuity of 20/50. The choroidal neovascularization was treated with two verteporfin photodynamic therapy sessions, separated by 3 months.
Results |
The choroidal neovascularization was occluded after two sessions. Best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/25 and remained stable throughout an 18-month follow-up.
Conclusion |
Photodynamic therapy seems to be an effective treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to choroidal nevus.
