Fundus examination of the right eye revealed intraretinal hemorrhage and a round yellow-grayish subretinal lesion just beneath the fovea. SD-OCT of the right eye showed retinal thickening, subretinal hyperreflective lesion, subretinal and mild intraretinal fluid, and a small retinal pigment epithelium defect beneath the fovea. Optical coherence tomography angiography demonstrated MNV type 2. After the administration of intravitreal injection of three monthly anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, BCVA improved to 20/20.
