Abstract
A subretinal neovascular membrane was diagnosed in a 60-year-old black woman 1 year following uneventful laser treatment for diabetic maculopathy. The membrane originated from the edge of a photocoagulation scar. It is believed that the neovascular membrane represents a complication of laser photocoagulation of diabetic maculopathy.
