Abstrakt: A 50-year-old female was diagnosed with significant peripapillary choroidal neovascularization (PCNV) in the left eye (LE). 12 months after a close follow-up, 4 intravitreal injections with bevacizumab and retinal laser photocoagulation were performed to limit the distribution of the lesion. A year after the primary diagnosis in the LE, a tiny PCNV also developed in the right eye (RE). Simultaneous activity was additionally observed in both peripapillary lesions at the time. At the last follow-up, after 43 months, the best corrected visual acuity in the RE was 0.8, but in the LE it was only 0.2. In total, the LE received 6 intravitreal injections with bevacizumab, while the RE received 3 injections.
