A 52-year-old man sought treatment for decreased vision in his right eye for 3 weeks. Visual acuity was 20/120. Examination revealed an elevated choroidal n evus at the posterior pole. Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographies disc losed fibrovascular pigment epithelial detachment extending under the fovea. The patientwas treated by two sessions of photodynamic therapy with verteporfin. Vi sual acuity improved to 20/40. The fibrovascular pigment epithelial detachment a rea diminished and the fovea is clear of lesion. Seven months after the last tre atment, visual acuity remains stable. Photodynamic therapy with verteporfin coul d be an effective option for treating subfoveal choroidal neovascularization sec ondary to choroidal nevus.
