Am J Ophthalmol. 1978 May;85(5 Pt 1):704-10. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9394(14)77109-0.

Abstract

We observed choroidal neovascularization with associated macular detachment in three cases of benign choroidal nevi. Successful obliteration of the neovascular membranes was performed with argon laser photocoagulation with maintenance of good central visual acuity.
