متن کاملRetinal pigment epithelial tear in shaken baby syndrome.
R etinal hemorrhages are the most commonly reported ocular findings in shaken baby syndrome (SBS) in children. The intraocular hemorrhages can vary considerably not only in size and severity but also in location. Shaken baby syndrome can also cause several structural retinal abnormalities including perimacular folds, traumatic retinoschisis, vitreomacular traction, retinal pigmentary changes, a...
متن کاملBimonthly half-dose ranibizumab in large pigment epithelial detachment and retinal angiomatous proliferation with high risk of retinal pigment epithelium tear: a case report
INTRODUCTION The management of large pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) associated with retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) remains a challenge due to the high risk of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tear. We describe the successful progressive anatomical result and the maintenance of visual acuity to bimonthly, half-dose ranibizumab in a patient with this condition. PURPOSE To descri...
متن کاملImmediate loss of vision due to retinal pigment epithelial tear after anti-angiogenesis treatment of pigment epithelial detachment.
Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab, an antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug, is currently the primary treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the UK. Use of ranibizumab for the treatment of isolated pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) without the presence of an occult choroidal neovascular membrane has not been studied in a randomized controlled fashion an...
