A patient with choroidal haemangioma in the right eye developed photodynamic therapy (PDT)-induced acute exudative maculopathy within a week of being subjected to PDT (for treating the choroidal haemangioma). The condition was managed with an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab and responded well to therapy.
