CASE REPORTS
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Retinal pigment epithelial tear after intravitreal bevacizumab injection.
American Journal of Ophthalmology 2006 December
PURPOSE: To report two cases of a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tear after intravitreal bevacizumab injection for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
DESIGN: Observational case series.
METHODS: Two patients presented with occult choroidal neovascularization secondary to AMD. Both patients received intravitreal bevacizumab injections.
RESULTS: The first patient developed a RPE tear shortly after a third intravitreal bevacizumab injection. The second patient developed a RPE tear 10 days after a second intravitreal bevacizumab injection.
CONCLUSIONS: Although RPE tears may occur spontaneously as part of the natural history of exudative AMD, patients may develop visually devastating RPE tears after repeat intravitreal bevacizumab injection. Further studies are needed to determine the incidence of RPE tears after intravitreal bevacizumab injections.
