description PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to report a case of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in a patient of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). DESIGN: The design of this study is an interventional case report. METHODS: A 6-year-old boy, a known patient of JIA, presented with a complaint of redness and ocular pain with mild diminution of vision in his left eye. Fundus examination revealed a CNVM with retinal thickening and subretinal fluid which was confirmed on OCT. Treatment with intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF (ranibizumab) and oral immunosuppressive showed resolution of the CNVM. RESULTS: The result of this study is a successful treatment of CNVM with a single anti-VEGF injection and systemic immunosuppression. CONCLUSIONS: Although a rare complication, CNVM can occur in patients with JIA.
