EnglishAbstract Choroidal neovascularization, an uncommon occurrence in children, may complicate up to 20% of cases of closed-globe blunt trauma with Bruch's membrane rupture. Visual outcome in untreated eyes is usually poor, and there is no consensus on the management of this complication. Treatment options include observation, surgical removal of the membrane, photocoagulation, or photodynamic therapy. Antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy has recently been proposed in sporadic adult cases. We report a case of post-traumatic choroidal neovascularization in a boy that has was successfully treated with intravitreal bevacizumab.
