title: Choroidal neovascularization in Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of choroidal neovascularization in a young patient with genetically-proven Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case description with fundus and anatomical photography and optical coherence tomography.
  
  
  METHODS
  Single patient case description.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fundus photography and optical coherence tomography reveal the presence of previously-active choroidal neovascularization. Anatomical, historical, and genetic evidence confirm Bardet-Biedl syndrome in this individual.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Choroidal neovascularization accompanying this syndrome has not been reported. Herein we describe the first published description of choroidal neovascularization in an individual with genetically-proven Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
