PURPOSE: To report a case of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) treated by ablation of the feeding and draining vessels that recurred by 6 months postoperatively. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: Images from fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were examined before and after ablation. RESULTS: The hot spot on late-phase ICG, the leakage on fluorescein angiography, the pigment epithelial detachment, and macular edema on OCT decreased postoperatively. However, a large hyperfluorescent lesion was detected on ICG 6 months postoperatively with recurrent cystoid macular edema. CONCLUSIONS: A new RAP lesion can develop even after the original lesion seemed to resolve after ablation.
