Subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM) in the pediatric population are rare. The clinical presentation, etiology, course, and management of SRNVM in 25 children (27 eyes) were studied retrospectively. Inflammatory or infectious conditions predominated (10 of 25). Eleven of 19 untreated SRNVM (58%) spontaneously involuted, with 9 of these 11 achieving a final visual acuity of 20/50 or better. A hyperpigmented ring on fluorescein angiography was associated with 9 of the 11 involuted SRNVM. The presence of this pigmented ring may help to identify those cases with a better visual prognosis.
