title: Fundus flavimaculatus and subretinal neovascularization.
abstract: A 52-year-old woman had clinical findings of fundus flavimaculatus and a subretinal neovascular membrane that had involuted into a fibrous nodule beneath the foveola. Chronic destructive changes accompanying any disease involving the retinal pigmented epithelium may secondarily cause a lesion in Bruch's membrane, predisposing to subsequent subretinal neovascularization is a rarely observed manifestation in dystrophic diseases, which are usually slowly progressive.
