摘要
We administered bevacizumab intravitreally to treat a recurrence of CNV after confocal laser coagulation and photodynamic therapy in a 32-year-old female patient with a single functional eye. Before and after treatment the vision in the affected eye was stable at 1.0. Before administration of the VEGF antibody leakage was distinctly seen on fluorescein angiography, which did not appear on examination after the treatment. Despite the entailed measure of risk we decided in favour of intravitreal application because it seemed promising in view of earlier positive clinical experience with it in exsudative AMD and macular oedema following central retinal vein occlusion. Intravitreal bevacizumab is an alternative that should also be considered for the treatment of idiopathic CNV. Careful clinical studies will follow. © 2006 Springer Medizin Verlag.
