Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the growth of pathologic new blood vessels and is the most important sequella of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In the past decade, newer imaging technologies have revealed that the morphologic manifestation of pathologic new vessels is much more diverse than traditionally described using fluorescein angiography. Several theories regarding the pathogenesis of CNV have been proposed including retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction, changes in choroid, changes in Bruch’s membrane, oxidative stress, genetics, ocular perfusion abnormalities, inflammation, and ischemia. Over the past decade, the spectrum of neovascular AMD has been expanded beyond classic and occult CNV.
