Atypical choroidal neovascular membrane.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the course of atypical choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a middle-aged woman experiencing sudden vision loss.

Observations

A middle-aged female presented with sudden onset vision loss. Following in depth investigations an initial diagnosis of presumed idiopathic CNV was made in her right eye. Multimodal imaging confirmed the presence of CNV, while the left eye remained unaffected. The CNV initially responded well to intravitreal Aflibercept injections, resulting in significant visual improvement. However, the patient later developed punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC), which eventually responded to systemic but not local corticosteroids. Recurrent CNV became incompletely controlled by Aflibercept. Switching to Faricimab resulted in sustained visual acuit
