Management of coexistent choroidal neovascular membrane and macular hole with serous detachment in a case of pathological myopia: challenges and dilemmas

Coexistent choroidal neovascular membrane and macular hole with serous retinal detachment in pathological myopia is a rare entity and may be quite challenging to manage. We present such a case managed with bevacizumab injection and vitrectomy. Although the retina was attached at the final follow-up,...
