title: Peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane in a teenage boy:  presenting feature of idiopathic intracranial hypertension and resolution with intravitreal bevacizumab.
abstract: Peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane (ppCNVM) is an infrequent finding in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). In the pediatric subgroup there is only a single previously reported case. We describe the use of intravitreal bevacizumab for ppCNVM in a teenage boy with IIH.
