Progressive Massive Choroidal Neovascularization, an Aggressive Phenotype: Case Report.

ABSTRACT: We report 2 cases of an aggressive choroidal neovascularization phenotype. A 77-year-old hypertensive woman, with a 4-year history of visual loss in her left eye, due to vitreous hemorrhage associated with a dome-shaped mass lesion underwent pars plana vitrectomy. An extensive subretinal hemorrhage was found, associated with extensive subretinal fibrosis, which was treated with endophotocoagulation and intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF. Best-corrected visual acuity after surgery was light perception. A 74-year-old woman with a 4-year history of treatment for choroidal neovascularization in both eyes presented with an extensive subretinal hemorrhage associated with exudation in the temporal peripheral retina. Lesions became larger despite monthly intravitreal anti-VEGF injections (14 inje
