Optical coherence tomography and fluorescence angiography demonstrated a juxtafoveal type 2 CNV originating from the edge of the choroidal rupture (Figure 1).
Recurrence of the choroidal neovascularization activity with a central macular thickness of 349 mum.

Three months later, the patient returned with a recurrence of CNV activity and increased central macular thickness (Figure 2).
Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography confirmed reduction of the choroidal neovascularization activity with a central macular thickness of 275 mum and disappearance of the retinal hemorrhage. Leakage from the choroidal neovascularization in the fluorescein angiography had ceased.

Two additional bevacizumab injections were administered, achieving a final reduction in subretinal fluid and central macular thickness (Figure 3).
