  • Title: Scatter photocoagulation for choroidovitreal neovascularization.
    Author: Augsburger JJ, Piro PA, Shields JA, Magargal LE, Donoso LA.
    Journal: Retina; 1984; 4(3):171-6. PubMed ID: 6208586.
    Abstract:
    Two patients developed choroidovitreal neovascularization subsequent to intense, repeated photocoagulation of a choroidal melanoma. Scatter photocoagulation to the ischemic zone of peripheral retina resulted in prompt, sustained regression of the new vessels. Scatter photocoagulation should be considered as a therapeutic alternative to focal ablative photocoagulation for patients who develop choroidovitreal neovascularization.
