Choroidal neovascularization information


Layers of the eye, with the choroid labelled.

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the creation of new blood vessels in the choroid layer of the eye. Choroidal neovascularization is a common cause of neovascular degenerative maculopathy (i.e. 'wet' macular degeneration)[1] commonly exacerbated by extreme myopia, malignant myopic degeneration, or age-related developments.
