Abstract
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is an uncommon complication associated with a macular hole. In this case report of a rare condition, we present a pathologic myopia patient with a co-existent macular hole and choroidal neovascular membrane. The patient was treated with photodynamic therapy for CNV, and then vitreous surgery for the retinal detachment and macular hole. At the end of 4 years follow-up, her visual acuity was improved to 0.1 while the macular hole remained open. Optical coherence tomography is a useful inspection method of the diagnosis of CNV and macular hole.Entities:
