abstract = "Purpose: To report the effects of a single intravitreous injection of bevacizumab for the treatment of secondary choroideal neovascularisation due to large optic disc drusen. Methods: A 14-year-old female patient with painless loss of vision in one eye presented with unusually large optic disc drusen and juxtapapillary choroidal neovascularisation with subretinal hemorrhage. She was treated with a single intravitreous injection of bevacizumab. Results: Visual acuity increased from 20/100 to 20/25 within 4 weeks after injection and remained at this level during the 12-month follow-up period. Conclusions: Bevacizumab is a possible primary treatment option for secondary choroidal neovascularisation due to large optic disc drusen in children as an alternative to other more invasive or complex procedures.",
