Oliver McFarlane syndrome and choroidal neovascularisation: a case report.

Background: Oliver McFarlane syndrome (OMS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by pigmentary chorioretinal atrophy with no previous reports of choroidal neovascularisation (CNV).

Material And Methods: We describe the history, findings of clinical examination, retinal imaging and electrodiagnostic studies, and the treatment of a patient with CNV secondary to OMS.

Case Description: CNV secondary to OMS was diagnosed in a ten-year-old white female who presented with reduced visual acuity and a macular haemorrhage in her right eye. CNV was confirmed on optical coherence tomography. She was initially treated with a single injection of intravitreal bevacizumab and 2 years later with an injection of intravitreal ranibizumab for a recurrence. Although macular scarring secondary to the CNV was observed, her vision has stabilised and she continues to be closely monitored.

Conclusion: We report the first case of CNV secondary to OMS and its successful treatment with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections.
