| Sumario: | João R de Oliveira Dias1, Eduardo B Rodrigues2, Maurício Martinazzo2, Michel E Farah21Faculty of Medicine, University of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; 2Department of Ophthalmology, Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), São Paulo, BrazilAbstract: 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.Keywords: choroidal neovascularization, growth hormone, optical coherence tomography, retina, angiogenesis |
