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 stabilised the neovascularisation. OCT-angiography was used to analyse the morphology of the superficial vascular network of the osteoma, as well as to monitor the evolution of the neovascular membrane.
