Abstract
A case of idiopathic choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) is described in a 12-year-old male patient. On initial examination, his vision was 20/100 in the left eye (OS). Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography scan (OCT) showed a classic type 2 choroidal neovascular membrane. Intravitreal ranibizumab was injected into the OS, three times, with an interval of 30 days between injections. At a follow-up visit, 3 weeks after the third injection, his best corrected visual acuity in the left eye was 20/20, with complete resolution of fluid on the OCT. This case is unusual, in that the CNVM developed in a young patient with no significant past medical history and in the absence of a choroidal or retinal pigment epithelial disease process that may be associated with a CNVM.
