title: Ocular neovascularization in a patient with Fanconi anemia.
abstract: METHODS
  An 11-year-old girl diagnosed with Fanconi anemia was referred to us for redness and pain in her right eye. Findings in the right eye included visual acuity of counting fingers, neovascular glaucoma, vitreous hemorrhage, optic disc neovascularization, and features of peripheral ischemic retinopathy. Findings in the left eye included peripheral retinal neovascularization and areas of retinal capillary nonperfusion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Patients with Fanconi anemia may develop ocular neovascularization with subsequent severe visual loss due to vitreous hemorrhage or neovascular glaucoma. Regular ophthalmic examination, including ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography in selected cases, is recommended in such patients.
