Abstract
Purpose
To report a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with optic disk melanocytoma successfully treated with bevacizumab.
Methods
A 63-year-old man complained of visual impairment in his left eye. His visual acuity was 0.9 OS. Fundus examination showed optic disk melanocytoma associated with serous retinal detachment and mild hemorrhage. Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography revealed CNV adjacent to the optic disc. Intravitreous bevacizumab (IVB) was performed 3 times.
Results
Choroidal neovascularization and serous retinal detachment disappeared at 5 months after IVB. Visual acuity recovered to 1.5 OS and has been stable for 1 year follow-up. No adverse events were found related to IVB.
Conclusions
Intravitreous bevacizumab can be a beneficial treatment for CNV associated with optic disc melanocytoma.
