“…The more common apical location of the nevus, which is similar to our findings, was described in two papers [10,13]. What is interesting, 100% of the CNV associated with nevus in the group described by Munie and Demirici were located at the margin of the lesion [12]. Pellegrini et al recognized 2 vascular presentations of the studied CNV that could be evaluated on the OCTA -"seafan" and "filamentous", with a 73% prevalence of the former and 27% of the latter [13].…”

“…There are only a few series of nevus-related CNV published in the literature [10,[12][13][14][15]18]. Like in our study, the majority of the nevi with accompanying CNV in all groups described by other authors were pigmented, with its incidence ranging from 67% to 91% [10,12,13]. The more common apical location of the nevus, which is similar to our findings, was described in two papers [10,13].…”

“…This is similar to the cohort reported by Pellegrini et al [13] and Chiang et al [14], with the prevalence of 64% and 100% respectively between groups. Type II (classic) of CNV was more common in the group described by Munie and Demirici and Zografos et al reaching accordingly 83% and 100% of eyes, whereas type I in the former study was only 17% [12,15]. melanoma is significantly lower than over the nevus.…”

Purpose: To assess the angiographic and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) features as well as the natural course of the choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with choroidal naevi. Setting/venue: Ocular Oncology Service, Department of Ophthalmology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences. Material and methods: Retrospective chart analysis of the patients who presented to the Ocular Oncology Service in Poznan, Poland between 2011–2021 with the diagnosis of suspicious choroidal naevus. In all patients full ophthalmic examination and multimodal imaging, including fundus photography, autofluorescence, B-ultrasound, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA) and fluorescein angiography (FAF), were performed. Results: There were 9 lesions in 9 patients, 9 women aged 14–79 years (mean age: 58.2 years). All the lesions were located in the posterior pole and most of them were pigmented (88.9%). CNVs associated with choroidal naevi were type I in 66.7% and type II in 33.3% of cases. 5 patients required treatment: anti-VEGF injection (alone or with transpupillary thermotherapy) was administered. The median follow-up was 24 months (range: 2–145). In two of all treated patients (40%), we observed BCVA gain (2–4 lines), in one patient (20%) it remained stable and in two (40%) it deteriorated. The final visual acuity was below 0.1 only in 1 patient. During the period of observation none of the lesions progressed to uveal melanoma. Conclusions: CNV associated with choroidal naevus could be the reason for subretinal fluid (SRF) leakage and visual loss. The response to anti-VEGF treatment is satisfactory in the majority of patients. Choroidal naevi with accompanying CNV have none or very low malignant transformation potential.

“…In recent years, with the advent of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), some authors have used intravitreal anti-VEGF injections successfully for the treatment of subfoveal nevusassociated CNV [11,24,25]. In a recent report, 73% of eyes with CNV associated with choroidal nevus responded properly to intravitreal bevacizumab injection and a combination of PDT, and bevacizumab led to further regression in unresponsive eyes [26].…”

Choroidal nevi are usually found incidentally during routine ophthalmoscopic examination. The prevalence ranges from 4 to 8% in general white population [1,2] making it the most common benign melanocytic intraocular tumor in adults [3]. Clinically, choroidal nevi appear as flat or slightly elevated, round or oval pigmented gray-brown (and sometimes amelanotic) lesions with well-defined margins. They are located deep to the retina, evenly distributed in all four quadrants of fundus and more common in postequatorial region [4].Although mostly asymptomatic, choroidal nevi should be observed for possible malignant transformation [5]. They may result in decreased visual acuity by inducing secondary changes in overlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retina including RPE atrophy or secondary fibrous metaplasia, pigment epi-
