Abstract

A 15-year-old child followed for Best vitelliform macular dystrophy presented to the clinic with an abrupt visual impairment of his left eye. Fundus examination showed bilateral vitelliform lesions, with serous retinal detachment and adjacent retinal hemorrhage in the left eye. Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography confirmed the diagnosis of type-2 choroidal neovascularization complicating the Best disease. The juxtafoveal location of the choroidal neovascularization prompted us to realize monthly intra-vitreous injections of bevacizumab. After the fourth injection, we observed visual and anatomical improvement that remained stable after a 12-month follow-up. It’s important to look for complications in front of a sudden decrease in visual acuity in Best disease.
