A representative case of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma where complete resolution of advanced cystoid macular edema (CME) occurred using photodynamic therapy (PDT). A 44-year-old woman (Case 6) presented with blurred vision of the left eye. Her initial best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.63. At initial presentation, minimal subretinal fluid (SRF) was present. (a) After 8 months, the BCVA decreased to 0.025, and a large serous retinal detachment (SRD) developed. A single intravitreal bevacizumab injection was performed, and the SRD completely resolved. (b) After 28 months, SRF and intraretinal fluid (IRF) occurred. A second intravitreal bevacizumab injection was performed; however, the fluid only partially resolved. (c) Three months later, advanced CME developed. Two subsequent PDTs were performed, and complete resolution occurred. Thereafter, there was a minor recurrence of SRF and IRF, and enhanced PDT was performed, and the fluid was again completely resolved. (d) After more than 3 years of follow-up, the fluid did not recur
