| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright 2019, SLACK Incorporated. The authors describe a case of a previously unreported phenomenon of focal choroidal excavation (FCE) expansion, in absence of inflammation, due to treatment of an associated choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM). A patient with new type 2 CNVM, treated during 43 months of follow-up with aflibercept, experienced significant expansion of an FCE with conversion from nonconforming to conforming type. FCE is part of the pachychoroid spectrum and the regression of an associated CNVM during aflibercept treatment as seen in the authors' patient may elucidate the pathogenesis of some forms of focal choroidal excavation and their evolution over time.
