Abstract:
Radiotherapy remains a controversial type of therapy for subfoveal neovascularization. Recently a peculiar pattern of neovascular growth of the irradiated choroidal neovascular membrane has been described. This evolution may be associated with extensive exudative reaction. In one of our patients with this complication, the disease progressed to a total exudative retinal detachment and neovascular glaucoma.
