We report a case of a choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) associated with sclerochoroidal calcification (SCC). An asymptomatic, 72-year-old male was referred to our institution for yellow-white placoid retinal lesions of both eyes. B-scan ultrasonography confirmed the diagnosis of SCC, and indocyanine green angiography confirmed the presence of an associated CNVM. Due to enlargement of a hemorrhagic pigment epithelial detachment associated with the CNVM over the course of 7 months, the patient was treated with a series of bevacizumab injections followed by photodynamic therapy (PDT). Due to persistence of the CNVM following PDT, the lesion was finally treated with argon laser photocoagulation. We describe the clinical course of this rare complication of SCC.
