Subretinal neovascularization associated with retinochoroidal colobomas.
The development of subretinal neovascularization as a complication of retinochoroidal coloboma has been reported in only three cases, in only one of which was the patient treated with laser photocoagulation. We report an additional case of subretinal neovascularization associated with retinochoroidal coloboma in a 57-year-old man that was treated with laser photocoagulation. The patient's visual acuity has remained stable at 20/50.
