title: Retinal ischaemia and delayed fibrovascular proliferation associated with an optic nerve coloboma.
abstract: METHODS
  A patient with a left optic nerve coloboma with late development (at 15 years of age) of vitreoretinal fibrovascular proliferation and tractional retinal detachment (TRD). Sectorial retinal photocoagulation was performed with regression of the proliferative tissue and exudation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Congenital optic nerve anomalies may be associated with significant retinal avascularity, ischaemia and late fibrovascular proliferation. Laser is effective for regression of the neovascular tissue and preventing TRD progression.
