A case is presented of a unilateral choroidal osteoma with choroidal excavation and associated neovascular membrane that was studied using OCT-angiography. The OCT and OCT-angiography revealed an area of choroidal excavation and an active neovascular membrane. Three doses of aflibercept were administered to the patient, which stabilized the neovascularisation. OCT-angiography was used to analyze the morphology of the superficial vascular network of the osteoma, as well as to monitor the evolution of the neovascular membrane. Presentamos un caso de osteoma de coroides unilateral con excavación coroidea y membrana neovascular asociada estudiado mediante angiografía-TCO. En TCO y angiografía-TCO se objetivó excavación coroidea y una membrana neovascular coroidea activa. Se administraron tres dosis de aflibercept estabilizando la neovascularización coroidea. La angiografía-TCO permitió el análisis morfológico de la red vascular superficial del osteoma así como el control evolutivo de la membrana neovascular.
