title: [Choroidal neovascularization].
abstract: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) may occur in any ocular condition affecting the integrity of the choriocapillaris-Bruch's membrane-retinal pigment epithelium-outer retinal layer complex. CNV in the macula is a major cause of severe central visual loss. A variety of clinical symptoms suggest the diagnosis of CNV. Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography play a very important role in the detection and precise localization of CNV in relation to the centre of the foveal avascular zone. In the present, CNV benefits by many treatment possibilities. The goal of treatment is specifically to decrease the risk of visual acuity loss.
