Abstract

Idiopathic macular neovascularization (MNV) is a disorder that affects patients

younger than 50 years and can cause a severe decrease in vision.

We report a case of a 44-year-old female with no known comorbidities presented

to us with a decrease in vision in the right eye. Fundus examination revealed a

macular lesion in the right eye suggestive of macular neovascularization of no

known etiology. Optical coherence tomography and Fundus fluorescein

Angiography confirmed the presence of an MNV. A single anti-VEGF injection of

Ranibizumab helped in rapid regression of the MNV and improvement in her

visual acuity was noted.

We conclude that timely diagnosis, management, and regular follow-up can help in

regression of MNV and vision can be preserved.
