title: Recurrent retinal angiomatous proliferation after surgical ablation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) treated by ablation of the feeding and draining vessels that recurred by 6 months postoperatively.
  
  
  METHODS
  Interventional case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Images from fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were examined before and after ablation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The hot spot on late-phase ICG, the leakage on fluorescein angiography, the pigment epithelial detachment, and macular edema on OCT decreased postoperatively. However, a large hyperfluorescent lesion was detected on ICG 6 months postoperatively with recurrent cystoid macular edema.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A new RAP lesion can develop even after the original lesion seemed to resolve after ablation.
