Abstract
- Choroidal neovascularization, also called subtetinal or subpigment epithelial neovasculariztation, may occur in the absence of any associated disorder and with no known etiology; in such cases, it is designated as idiopathic. Idibpathic chormdal neovascularization is characterized generally by an isolated neovascular membrane in the macula and is usually associated with a serous and/or hemorrhagic detachment of the overlying and adjacent sensory retina. The classic angiographic findings are lacy, nodular, or irregular, hyperfluorescence in the early phase, with pooling of dye in the subsensory retinal space during the late phase. The authors experienced a case of idiopathic choroidal neovascularization. A brief review of literature is described.
