TORONTO — Surgical removal of subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane in children can have good visual prognosis in selected cases, a small case series here showed.

Researchers here assessed the surgical outcomes of two eyes with Best disease and one with idiopathic subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane that underwent vitrectomy and extraction of the membrane. All three eyes had significant improvement in their visual acuity and no recurrence of the choroidal neovascular membrane.

The study is published in the August issue of Retina.
