Abstract
A case of unilateral serous hemorrhagic maculopathy with a very acute course is reported in an eight year old girl fluorescein angiography revealed the presence of a subretinal neovascular membrane extending from the inferotemporal part of the disc to the macula; CT scan identified calcified drusen of the optic disc. Ophthalmoscopy and angiography one year later showed a glial macular scar, absence of hemorrhage and serous detachment. Visual acuity was reduced to counting fingers. This unusual type of maculopathy combining optic disc drusen and a neovascular membrane contradicts the classically benign prognosis of optic disc drusen.
