Choroidal neovascularization in patient undergoing growth hormone treatment

摘要

Abstract: The association between growth-hormone (GH) and neovascular retinopathies in nondiabetic patients has been reported in earlier series. We report occurrence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a 15-year-old male patient undergoing long-term GH therapy. The CNV could be a consequence of the GH-intake in a susceptible myopic patient.
