Article Synopsis
  • Optic disc melanocytoma is a benign, usually asymptomatic tumor found in the eye, but it can lead to complications like choroidal neovascularization, which can be challenging to distinguish from malignant tumors.
  • A case study of a 54-year-old man with optic disc melanocytoma showed the need for close monitoring due to growth, prompting treatment with anti-VEGF-A injections after development of neovascular membranes.
  • Treatment with intravitreal anti-VEGF-A can effectively manage choroidal neovascularization related to optic disc melanocytoma and requires advanced imaging techniques for accurate diagnosis.
