A Case Report on Subretinal Choroidal Neovascular Membrane | Chapter 2 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 3

Older persons are more susceptible to the degenerative retinal condition known as subretinal choroidal retinal membrane. It results in the aberrant proliferation of vessels from the choriocapillaris through the Bruch membrane and into the region beneath the retina or the retinal pigment epithelium. One of the main indications of a macula problem is metamorphopsia. It is seen in disorders of the Bruch's membrane such as angioid streaks, pathological myopia, trauma, viral or inflammatory illnesses, and other pathologies. Based on how it appears on fluorescein angiography, it is classified as classic, occult, and mixed type. If there is no underlying reason for the neovascularization, the consequence is idiopathic choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV). In this example, the pathophysiology of the condition and available treatments are briefly described. It is known for self-contained, obvious regressive behaviour, and often has a favourable visual prognosis. Submacular bleeding is now being treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The amount, position, and thickness of the bleed, however, all affect the visual prognosis.
