Successful photodynamic therapy with verteporfin for recurrent choroidal neovascularization beneath the new fovea after macular translocation surgery with 360-degree retinotomy.

Purpose: To report a case of successfully treated recurrent choroidal neovascularization after macular translocation surgery with 360-degree retinotomy by photodynamic therapy with verteporfin.

Design: Interventional case report.

Methods: A 76-year-old man developed recurrent choroidal neovascularization at the new fovea after macular translocation surgery with 360-degree retinotomy.

Results: Two sessions of photodynamic therapy were applied, which resolved the choroidal neovascularization. Best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/50 at the 6 and 12 months follow-up.

Conclusion: Photodynamic therapy may be an option for treatment of recurrent choroidal neovascularization in the new subfoveal region after macular translocation surgery with 360-degree retinotomy.
