Abstract:
PURPOSE: To report the choroidal neovascularization of 4 patients in central serous chorioretinopathy treated with laser treatment. CASE SUMMARY: We reported 4 patients with central serous chorioretinopathy. Three patients were treated with focal laser photocoagulation, and 1 patient with photodynamic treatment. All patients newly developed choroidal neovascularization (CNV) after treatment at the area of laser treatment. Three patients received intravitreal anti-VEGF injection and 1 patient received argon laser photocoagulation for the treatment of CNV. After the treatment, the CNV was resolved with improved visual acuity. CONCLUSIONS: Laser treatment may be efficacious tool to achieve rapid resolution in central serous chorioretinopathy until now. However, more caution at the time of treatment and close follow-up after treatment are warranted.
