[Intravitreal viscoelastic injection for management of combined choroidal and retinal detachments].

Introduction: Combined retinal detachment and choroidal detachment (RDCD) is a serious type of retinal detachment occurring mainly in high myopes, which poses many pre-, intra- and postoperative difficulties that can affect the visual prognosis.

Material And Methods: Personal technique used in 8 patients with RDCD, consisting of intravitreal injection (IVI) of a viscoelastic (VE) device 2 to 3 days prior to vitrectomy.

Results: Reattachment of the choroid in all patients, with return to normal IOP, allowing vitrectomy to be performed under optimal conditions.

[Use of bevacizumab in the treatment of complicated proliferative diabetic retinopathy].

Introduction: Diabetes is the leading cause of neovascular vitreoretinal proliferation. Several recent publications have appeared showing the efficacy and safety of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVT) in proliferative or complicated diabetic retinopathy (PDR), but with no consensus on the injected dose. We report the results of its use as adjuvant intravitreal injection (IVT) prior to posterior vitrectomy in the setting of complicated PDR.
