(b) A 6-month post-treatment angiogram shows the staining of choroidal rupture and scarred choroidal neovascular membrane. Figure 2 (a) Pre-treatment optical coherence tomography shows CNV complex with intraretinal oedema. [nature.com]

Treatment for CNV includes observation, photocoagulation, surgery, and PDT; because of small sample size we cannot make recommendations regarding treatment. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

Bevacizumab treatment also reduced exudation from CNV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of Choroidal Rupture: If choroidal neovascularization is present, treatment is centered around reducing or eliminating the neovascularization. Depending on the location of the neovascularization, laser treatment may be warranted. [artisanoptics.com]

Etiology A choroidal rupture usually is a result of a traumatic injury; it is noted three times more frequently with closed globe injuries than open globe. It is noted with both blunt and penetrating globe injuries. [eyewiki.aao.org]

(Etiology) Choroidal Rupture is mostly caused by an eye trauma that may be direct or indirect. [dovemed.com]

Etiology Depending or not on the rupture of small choroidal vessels, the content within the detachment may be hemorrhagic or effusion. [radiopaedia.org]

Pathophysiology After blunt trauma, the ocular globe undergoes mechanical compression and then sudden hyperextension. Because of its tensile strength, the sclera can resist this insult; the retina is also protected because of its elasticity. [odlarmed.com]

Pathophysiology During a closed globe injury, the eyeball is first mechanically compressed and then rapidly hyperextended. The sclera's tensile strength resists this compression. The retina is elastic and stretches during such an injury. [eyewiki.aao.org]
