Treatment of persistent serous retinal detachment in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome with intravitreal bevacizumab during the systemic steroid treatment.

Purpose: To report the use of bevacizumab in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and persistent serous retinal detachment during the systemic steroid treatment.

Methods: Four patients with bilateral Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease with the resolution of ocular inflammation presenting a serous retinal detachment involving the fovea that persisted for at least 1 month, despite systemic corticosteroid treatment, received an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab during the steroid tapering stage. Best-corrected visual acuity, central retinal thickness, and macular sensitivity were evaluated.

Ruthenium-106 brachytherapy and intravitreal bevacizumab for retinal capillary hemangioma.

The purpose of this study is to report a case of retinal capillary hemangioma treated with ruthenium-106 brachytherapy combined with intravitreal bevacizumab. A 58-year-old woman presented with blurred vision in her left eye for 15 days. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was counting fingers at 3 m in her left eye.

Lamellar macular hole following intravitreal pegaptanib sodium (Macugen) injection for diabetic macular edema.

To report on a patient who developed a lamellar macular hole 1 month after an intravitreal pegaptanib sodium injection. Interventional case report. A 66 year old patient developed a lamellar macular hole 1 month after an intravitreal pegaptanib sodium injection for diabetic macular edema (DME).

[Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome and multiple sclerosis].

Purpose: To describe a patient who fulfilled the criteria for both clinically definite multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) and multiple sclerosis.

Methods: We performed a complete ophthalmologic and neurological examination in a 30-year-old woman who was referred to our department for blurred vision in her left eye (LE) with photopsia.

Results: Following a complete ophthalmologic examination, the patient was diagnosed with MEWDS and coincident multiple sclerosis.

Intravitreal avastin for choroidal neovascularization associated with stargardt-like retinal abnormalities in pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

The aim of the study was to describe a patient with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), showing Stargardt-like retinal abnormalities, who underwent treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) of the right eye (RE). A 57-year-old woman with diagnosis of angioid streaks, retinal flecks, and chorioretinal Stargardt-like atrophy due to PXE was referred to our department for sudden decreased vision in her RE (20/160). Upon a complete ophthalmologic examination, including fluorescein angiography (FA), and optical coherence tomography (OCT), the patient was diagnosed with subfoveal CNV of the RE.
