- Title
Intravitreal ranibizumab in a patient with choroidal neovascularization secondary to choroidal osteoma.
- Authors
Song, M.-H.; Roh, Y.-J.
- Abstract
The article reports on the study that evaluates the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab in treating patient with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to choroidal osteoma. It reveals that the cause of CNV development is unknown, however, it expects that the degenerated retinal pigment epithelium overlying the osteoma allows the growth of new blood vessels. It observes regression of CNV and recovery of visual acuity following the use of intravitreal ranibizumab.
