Abstract
Congenital optic nerve abnormalities may rarely cause choroidal neovascularization (CNV). This case report summarizes the clinical and therapeutic outcomes of a 7-year-old boy with unilateral CNV secondary to morning glory syndrome associated with acute visual acuity loss. The patient was successfully treated with a single intravitreal ranibizumab injection. One month after the injection the visual acuity increased and optic coherence tomography (OCT) showed a decrease in the intraretinal fluid around the CNV. The patient was then called for monthly follow-up visits. No further treatment was needed for the next 12months after the first treatment. There was no complication related to the injection.
