Optical coherence tomography in choroidal neovascular membrane associated with Best's vitelliform dystrophy

A 29‐year‐old black male with Best's dystrophy presented an elevated choroidal neovascular membrane in the right eye that was diagnosed and followed with fluorescein‐indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography. The subretinal neovascularization was successfully treated with a...

Description
Summary:A 29‐year‐old black male with Best's dystrophy presented an elevated choroidal neovascular membrane in the right eye that was diagnosed and followed with fluorescein‐indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography. The subretinal neovascularization was successfully treated with argon laser photocoagulation. One month later, the visual acuity improved and an optical coherence tomography confirmed regression of the serous macular detachment. The final clinical picture remained stable for 12 months of follow‐up.
