Abstract
A 62-year-old woman with no associated risk factors was diagnosed as a case of type 1 choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) associated with central serous chorioretinopathy in both the eyes based on clinical features and multimodal imaging. She was primarily treated with low fluence photodynamic therapy and responded well to the treatment. There was persistence of neovascular network seen on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) without any signs of activity on optical coherence tomography. However, after 5 years she developed recurrent CNV in the left eye with a new type 2 CNV as seen on OCTA which had a higher flow signal strength as compared with the previous type 1 CNV. Following two doses of intravitreal ziv-aflibercept, the new type 2 CNV network regressed as evident on OCTA along with improvement in best corrected visual acuity.
