  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 51-year-old man presented with decreased vision since 5 months before. His corrected visual acuity was 0.3 left. The left eye showed a gray turbid patch of 1/2 disc diameter in size close to the fovea. It was surrounded by serous and hemorrhagic detachment of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Angiographic studies showed the margin of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) to be within 200 μm from the fovea. Optical coherence tomography showed the CNV to be present posterior and anterior to the RPE. The CNV was thus classified as type 1 and 2 after Gass. During surgery, the subretinal component of CNV was removed but the sub-RPE component was torn and remained there. There was no RPE defect. Histologically, the removed CNV tissue contained immature vascular endothelium and little fibrous tissue, showing the CNV mass to be fragile. The remnant CNV underwent spontaneous regression, resulting in visual acuity of 0.8 9 months later with no recurrence up to one year after surgery. It appeared that an unusual attach-ment was present between RPE and CNV in this case.
