Abstract
Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD) is a hereditary condition that causes childhood-onset macular dystrophy. In rare cases, VMD is accompanied by formation of a choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM). We report a case of CNVM secondary to Best VMD in a 10-year-old boy that was detected using optical coherence tomography angiography, a new noninvasive diagnostic modality that detects motion contrast in repeated B-scans to identify blood flow within vessels.
