چکیده
Purpose: The authors report the result of three consecutive monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injection for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) after bevacizumab injection for chronic central serous rethinopathy (CSR). Methods: A 48year-old man with chronic CSR was treated with intravitreal single dose 2.5 mg bevacizumab. One year after CNV was occurred, and three consecutive monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injections were performed. Results: Four weeks later the first ranibizumab dose, best corrected visual acuity was improved 20/80 to 20/20 and remained stable within one year. Conclusion: Repeat intravitreal ranibizumab injection in CNV after bevacizumab injection for chronic CSR appeared to be an effective treatment option.
