Introduction: In young subjects, the major cause of Choroidal NeoVessels (CNV) during high myopia. The
frequency of CVNs during high myopia varies from 5 to 10%.
Observation: We report a case of bilateral CNV in a young male subject, followed since childhood for high myopia.
The patient received three intravitreal anti-VEGF injections of Bevacizumab at one month intervals. The evolution
was favorable both anatomically and functionally.
Discussion: The advent of intravitreal injection (IVT) of anti-VEGF has improved the prognosis of CVN.
Conclusion: CVNs are frequent in severe myopia. Their treatment requires the use of IVT of anti-VEGF in first
intention.
