Intravitreal bevacizumab therapy in preterm infants for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) can be associated with hypotension. We report twin preterm infants who developed hypotension within 1 day after intravitreal bevacizumab therapy for ROP. Before receiving the medication, their clinical statuses were stable and similar. The dose, procedure, and premedication were the same; however, twin B pr...

The burden of intravitreal injections has increased tremendously over the past few years. Since traditionally the operation theatre setup is currently used for this procedure, it is increasingly becoming difficult to manage such a patient load in the theatres. To overcome this challenge, office-based setup for intravitreal injection was started. This study was planned to determine the incidence...

We report a case of posterior scleritis effectively managed with intravitreal bevacizumab. A 71-year-old woman was diagnosed with posterior scleritis. Although she was initially treated with systemic steroids, her clinical presentation deteriorated. She was then treated with a single intravitreal injection of bevacizumab and aqueous humor collection. The aqueous level of vascular endothelial gr...

CLINICAL CASE We report a case of a 42 year-old male with a macular edema due to idiopathic juxtafoveal retinal telangiectasis type i, treated with 3 sequential injections of intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg in 0.05 ml). Anatomical improvements were observed after one year of follow up. DISCUSSION There is currently no general consensus regarding the treatment of unilateral idiopathic juxtaf...

Objective: To determine the effect of intravitreally administered bevacizumab, alone or as adjunct to mitomycin-C, after trabeculectomy on bleb survival and histology in rabbit eyes. Methods: An experimental, interventional, comparative, animal study consisting of 16 rabbit eyes underwent trabeculectomy, 8 of which were enhanced with intra-operative mitomycin-C. Eyes were randomized to receive ...

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...

We report the case of a patient with an aggressive retinal astrocytoma accompanied with macular edema and neovascular vessels, who was initially treated with intravitreal bevacizumab injections. A 24-year-old male presented to our clinic complaining of visual disturbance in his right eye. At 8 years of age, he had been diagnosed as having tuberous sclerosis complex. Fundus examination demonstra...

To assess the potential visual benefit of intravitreal bevacizumab in a patient with macular edema from idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis, an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.25 mg) was given. Within 1 week, visual acuity improved from 20/60 to 20/30 and optical coherence tomography demonstrated resolution of macular edema. There was no adverse effect. The mac...

diabetic macular edema (dme) is a leading cause of vision loss in the working-age population worldwide. numerous early studies suggest an important role for intravitreal anti-vegf agents such as bevacizumab in the management of dme. we reviewed manuscripts that had investigated pharmacokinetic, efficacy, safety, dose and frequency of intravitreal bevacizumab (ivb) injections as well as effect o...

We hereby report a case of hemorrhagic macular infarction after intravitreal bevacizumab for chronic multifocal central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Issues regarding safety and adverse effects of bevacizumab are discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of hemorrhagic macular infarction after intravitreal bevacizumab for chronic multifocal CSC.
