Abstract	PURPOSE Adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AFVD) is often misdiagnosed as occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The authors report the anatomic and functional outcome of intravitreal bevacizumab in a case of AFVD associated with a suspected occult CNV. METHODS Prospective, interventional, single case report. One female patient with decreased visual acuity (VA) and metamorphopsia secondary to AFVD received one single intravitreal injection of bevacizumab 1.25 mg. RESULTS The patient reported unchanged VA and decreased metamorphopsia 6 weeks after the injection. Fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed progressive decrease of subretinal fluid until complete disappearance. VA, OCT, and FA remained unchanged during 10 months follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Intravitreal bevacizumab showed a morphologic improvement and stable VA in a patient with AFVD. Further case series are required to confirm this observation.
