Abstract:

This article describes a clinical case of a female patient with choroidal nevus, who was previously diagnosed in another clinic with “subretinal neovascular membrane as a result of central serous chorioretinopathy” and subsequently underwent multiple intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. Based on the analysis of OCT angiography images, the macular changes in this case were interpreted as a polypoidal form of neovascularization in a patient with subfoveolar choroidal nevus.

Keywords:
