Peripheral choroidal neovascularization can present as subretinal lesions mimicking tumors. Diagnostic tools like fluorescein angiography and echography help differentiate these from choroidal metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Peripheral choroidal neovascularization (pCNV) can manifest as elevated subretinal lesions.
  • These lesions may be misdiagnosed as choroidal tumors, including metastasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical presentation of peripheral choroidal neovascularization.
  • To evaluate diagnostic methods for differentiating pCNV from choroidal metastasis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 8 eyes with 11 peripheral subretinal lesions.
  • Clinical examination, fluorescein angiography, and echography were utilized.

Main Results:

  • Peripheral lesions were characterized by turbid subretinal fluid and exudate.
  • The majority of patients were initially referred with a diagnosis of choroidal metastasis.

  • Clinical examination with fluorescein angiography and echography effectively distinguished pCNV.

    • Conclusions:

    • Peripheral choroidal neovascularization can present atypically without significant hemorrhage.
    • Diagnostic imaging modalities are crucial for accurate differentiation from choroidal metastasis.
