Case Report:
The case is presented of a 30 year-old man, with night blindness and decreased visual acuity (VA) in both eyes, but more significant in the left eye (LE) of 20/100. Lesions consistent with choroideremia and LE macular hemorrhage was observed in the fundus. CNV was confirmed by OCT. A definitive diagnosis was obtained by genetic study. No treatment was given as the patient did not return. At 6 months there was a regression of CNV with VA 20/25 in the LE.
Conclusions:
CNV associated with choroideremia is uncommon. Treatment would antiangiogenic therapy, however spontaneous resolution is possible.
