[Isolated traumatic rupture of the membrane of Bruch complicated by choroid neovascularization].

The authors report one case of traumatic tear in Bruch's membrane which pass close to the fovea in a thirty year old male. Sub retinal neo-vascularization arise from this choroidal rupture four months after trauma. Binocular diplopia was the first symptom of the sub-retinal neo-vascularization. It extends from the tear to involve the macula with reduction in visual acuity to 2/10eme P14. The spontaneous regression of these abnormal vessels allows to improve visual acuity to 6/10eme P2. Compared with reports in the literature, it seems that spontaneous regression of this sub-retinal neo-vascularization can be explained by the fact it grow from healty retina in young patient. There is no conclusive evidence that coagulation therapy is of any benefit in patients developing such lesions.
