ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 39-year old man who presented with central serous chorioretinopathy. Two months after diagnosis, argon laser photocoagulation was performed. One month later, the patient noticed distortion and a reduction in vision revealing a subretinal neovascularization above the fovea next to the laser scar. The patient underwent surgical extraction of the neovascular membrane and recovered a visual acuity of 20/30. This case report shows a complication of laser treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy and underlines the diagnostic difficulties of this disease and its treatment modalities. The surgical excision, the first reported in this etiology, led to good visual recovery, as is usually observed in young patients operated on for neovascular membrane.
