MACULAR SUBRETINAL NEOVASCULAR MEMBRANE-ASSOCIATED WITH PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI

We report on the development of juxtapapillary subretinal neovascular membrane and permanent severe visual loss in a patient with pseudotumo r cerebri. The patient was managed by a lumboperitoneal shunt. After s urgery, despite resolving papilledema and intracranial pressure contro l, the membrane had enlarged rapidly to involve the foveal avascular z one, and resulted in rapid visual loss. The membrane slowly regressed, and was replaced by fibrous tissue at the ninth month, causing perman ent severe visual loss.
