Double Myopic Choroidal Neovascular Membranes (CNVMs): A Case Report

Myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the most common cause of visual morbidity in patients with pathologic myopia (PM). Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent permanent loss of central vision. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCT-A) are the key diagnostic modalities for identifying and monitoring this vision-threatening complication. We report an unusual case of a female patient with two myopic CNVs in the same eye, clearly depicted using OCT-A and successfully managed with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections. This rare instance warrants further study to draw more definite conclusions regarding this common complication and its response to treatment.

Abstract

Myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the most common cause of visual morbidity in patients with pathologic myopia (PM). Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent permanent loss of central vision. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCT-A) are the key diagnostic modalities for identifying and monitoring this vision-threatening complication. We report an unusual case of a female patient with two myopic CNVs in the same eye, clearly depicted using OCT-A and successfully managed with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections. This rare instance warrants further study to draw more definite conclusions regarding this common complication and its response to treatment.
