To report a rare case of unilateral foveal neovascularisation in an asymptomatic patient with 15-year history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and bilateral proliferative diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. Fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography scan confirmed the presence of foveal neovascularisation. There was complete regression of the foveal neovascularisation after pan retinal laser photocoagulation. We review the literature on foveal neovascularisation in diabetic retinopathy and propose a possible pathogenic mechanism for development of foveal neovascularisation in diabetic retinopathy and the reason for the response to pan retinal laser photocoagulation.
