Abstract

A 21-year-old man was seen for follow-up of optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) in the ophthalmology department. Funduscopy revealed the presence of choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in the papillomacular bundle of his right eye (RE). The patient was successfully treated with two intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF). Peri-papillary choroidal neovascularisation in papillomacular bundle is a rare complication in patients with ONHD. These forms of CNV show a good response to anti-VEGF treatment.
