A Novel Finding of Retinal Neovascularization Secondary to Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

We report a rare case of a 59-year-old male with bilateral chronic multifocal central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) who developed retinal neovascularization (RNV). This patient had been under review for CSCR for several years before developing a new frond of RNV in his right eye. Comprehensive investigations, including fundus fluorescein angiography, were performed to exclude alternative causes such as diabetic retinopathy, vascular occlusion, or retinal vasculitis. He was treated with three intravitreal injections of bevacizumab and received sectoral panretinal photocoagulation laser with good response and regression of the vessel appearance.

Abstract

We report a rare case of a 59-year-old male with bilateral chronic multifocal central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) who developed retinal neovascularization (RNV). This patient had been under review for CSCR for several years before developing a new frond of RNV in his right eye. Comprehensive investigations, including fundus fluorescein angiography, were performed to exclude alternative causes such as diabetic retinopathy, vascular occlusion, or retinal vasculitis. He was treated with three intravitreal injections of bevacizumab and received sectoral panretinal photocoagulation laser with good response and regression of the vessel appearance.
