Description
Summary:Comment Choroidal neovascularisation has been associated with macular degeneration, histoplasmosis, pathological myopia, angioid streaks, optic nerve drusen, optic nerve pits, pseudotumour cerebri, chronic inflammation, infection, malignant melanoma, choroidal osteomas, choroidal naevi, photocoagulation, and choroidal rupture. In each case the fundus of the fellow eye was free of drusen, let alone more substantive evidence of macular degeneration. [...]their patient had chronic disc oedema and venous collaterals and had antecedent age related macular degeneration in both eyes. 4 Shields et al described an instance of CNV in a child with an optic nerve glioma.
