Abstract
To report a case of peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy (PEHCR) associated with extramacular choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM). A 65-year-old female with BCVA of 3/60 in the RE was diagnosed to have PEHCR with peripheral CNVM. She had subretinal fluid in the macular region. The patient was treated successfully with a single dose of intravitreal bevacizumab followed by laser photocoagulation of the CNVM. BCVA was 6/24 after 3 months and subretinal fluid had resolved. PEHCR may be associated with extramacular CNVM and hence may cause visual loss. Such extramacular CNVMs respond well to combination therapy which offers a permanent cure.Entities:
