Abstract

Inflammatory choroidal neovascularization (i-CNV) is the third common cause of choroidal neovascularization worldwide, after age related macular degeneration (AMD) and pathologic myopia [1]. The CNV develops due to angiogenic drive which is mediated by either local inflammation, secondary to degenerative disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) Bruch’s membrane complex or both. CNV may occur in wide range of both infectious
and non-infectious uveitis etiologies.
