Management of coexistent choroidal neovascular membrane and macular hole with serous detachment in a case of pathological myopia: challenges and dilemmas

BMJ Case Rep. 2020 Mar 30;13(3):e234051. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2019-234051.

Abstract

Coexistent choroidal neovascular membrane and macular hole with serous retinal detachment in pathological myopia is a rare entity and may be quite challenging to manage. We present such a case managed with bevacizumab injection and vitrectomy. Although the retina was attached at the final follow-up, the visual outcome was poor, due to non-closure of hole.

Keywords: eye; ophthalmology; retina.
