Intravitreal bevacizumab for neovascular glaucoma following central retinal artery occlusion.
European Journal of Ophthalmology 2007 March
PURPOSE: To report a case of neovascular glaucoma due to central retinal artery occlusion treated with a single intravitreal injection of bevacizumab.
METHODS: A 68-year-old patient with a 10-week history of central retinal artery occlusion presented with neovascularization of the iris and the angle and intraocular pressure of 30 mm Hg. The patient received a single injection of 1.25 mg bevacizumab in 0.1 mL intravitreally.
RESULTS: Iris and angle neovascularization regressed within 48 hours of the injection. Intraocular pressure dropped from 30 to 15 mm Hg, and there was marked improvement in patient comfort. Panretinal photocoagulation was applied 4 weeks after the injection.
CONCLUSIONS: Bevacizumab seems to be a useful adjunct to panretinal photocoagulation in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma.
