Abstract
Juvenile macular sub-retinal neovascularization is an exceedingly rare condition. It occurs in patients under the age of 20. Subretinal neovascularization is so rare in patients less than twenty years of age, that the macular photocoagulation study presents data only for patients 18 years of age or older. This poster describes a 17-year-old female with a foveal hemorrhage secondary to idiopathic juvenile macular sub-retinal neovascularization in one eye. Although the patient was given the treatment option of laser, she refused, and opted for close observation instead. In this case the hemorrhage resolved spontaneously and left the patient with 20/80 vision. The rationale for and against laser treatment is discussed. The significance of the Macular Photocoagulation Study is reviewed with respect to this case.
