Purpose:
To report a case of bullous retinal detachment complicated by peripheral retinal ischemia and neovascularization in a patient with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
Results:
Focal laser photocoagulation to the active retinal pigment epithelial leaks in the posterior pole resulted in resolution of the bullous detachment and regression of the retinal neovascularization.
Conclusions:
Patients with chronic CSC and a large, dependent serous detachment with peripheral retinal ischemia and neovascularization may be managed by focal treatment to active pigment epithelial leaks alone. This could spare patients of the adverse effects associated with widespread laser treatment and reduce the risk of visual loss due to vitreous hemorrhage and/or more severe complications resulting from progressive retinal ischemia.
