Background: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 or 2.5 mg) in the treatment of inflammatory choroidal neovascularization at 24 months.

Methods: We reviewed the clinical records of 22 consecutive patients (23 eyes) with choroidal neovascularization secondary to chorioretinal inflammatory disease in this interventional retrospective multicenter case series. Sixteen eyes (63.6%) received a dose of 1.25 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab, and 7 eyes (36.4%) received a dose of 2.5 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab.

Results: At baseline, the mean best-corrected visual acuity was 0.68 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart = 20/100). After intravitreal bevacizumab, best-corrected visual acuity improved significantly to 0.41 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (20/51), 0.42 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (20/53), and 0.40 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (20/50) at 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively (P < 0.05). Fourteen eyes (60.8%) received 1 injection. Central macular thickness by optical coherence tomography decreased from 375.3 μm (range: 240-634 μm) at baseline to 241.6 μm (range: 189-306 μm) at 24 months of follow-up (P < 0.0001).

Conclusion: Intravitreal bevacizumab at doses of 1.25 mg and 2.5 mg seems to provide stability or improvement in best-corrected visual acuity, optical coherence tomography, and fluorescein angiogram in inflammatory choroidal neovascularization at 24 months. All patients were treated after the underlying uveitic condition was controlled.

An efficacy comparison of combination of different anti-vascular endothelial growth factors and photodynamic therapy in patients with pachychoroid neovasculopathy.

Authors:
Buğra Karasu Ali Rıza Cenk Celebi

Int Ophthalmol 2021 Mar 2. Epub 2021 Mar 2.

School of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology, Acibadem University, Istanbul, Turkey.

Purpose: To evaluate anatomical and visual outcomes in patients who received intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents in combination with full-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) on eyes with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to naive pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV).

Materials And Methods: Medical records on 19 eyes of 19 patients whom intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB), intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR), and intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) injections were administered for CNV caused by PNV were enrolled into the study. The central macular thickness (CMT), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) were recorded at the baseline, months 1, 3, 6, 12, and final control visit following treatment.

Posterior pole retinal breaks causing posterior pole retinal detachment in a middle-aged man with retinal vasculitis and moderate myopia.

BMJ Case Rep 2021 Feb 26;14(2). Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Vitreo-Retina, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, Telangana, India

A 38-year-old man presented with sudden decreased vision in the right eye 3 years ago due to vitreous haemorrhage. During follow-up, right eye fundus showed evidence of vasculitis, non-perfusion areas and neovascularisation elsewhere. Systemic evaluation findings of positive Mantoux test, QuantiFERON Gold test and right apical pleuroparenchymal fibrosis observed on high-resolution CT of the chest were suggestive of postinfection probable tubercular aetiology.

Turk J Ophthalmol 2021 Feb;51(1):38-44

Acıbadem University Faculty of Medicine, İstanbul, Turkey.

Objectives: To evaluate the functional and morphological outcomes of vitrectomy in combination with intravitreal 5% C3F8 tamponade and subretinal injections of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) in patients with submacular hemorrhage (SMH) and to investigate the preoperative prognostic factors.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 30 patients (16 women, 14 men) diagnosed with SMH secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Preoperative SMH thickness and area, ellipsoid zone integrity, and postoperative reduction in the amount of subfoveal blood on optical coherence tomography and fundus photographs were assessed.

Bevacizumab and neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity: should we still worry?

Authors:
Pelin Celik Iclal Ayranci Sucakli Caner Kara Ikbal Seza Petricli Sumru Kavurt Istemi Han Celik Ahmet Yagmur Bas Nihal Demirel

J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med 2021 Feb 22:1-8. Epub 2021 Feb 22.

Department of Neonatology, Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Women's Health Teaching and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences Turkey, Ankara, Turkey.

Aim: Bevacizumab may affect preterm infants' ongoing organogenesis with its antiangiogenic effects. We aimed to compare neurodevelopmental outcomes (NDO) of preterm infants treated for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with laser photocoagulation (LP), intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) or both treatments, and to find out the effects of IVB on NDO.

Methods: Medical records of preterm infants with ROP treatment and evaluation for NDO were retrospectively collected between 1 January 2017 and 31 June 2019. Read More

Ophthalmol Retina 2021 Feb 18. Epub 2021 Feb 18.

NIHR Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre, London, UK; UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, 11-43 Bath Street, London, UK.

Objective: To evaluate whether baseline demographic, clinical and optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics predict visual acuity outcomes in patients receiving anti-VEGF therapy for ME (macular edema) due to CRVO (central retinal vein occlusion).

Design: Post-hoc analysis of the randomized noninferiority trial (Lucentis, Eylea, Avastin in CRVO) - LEAVO Study from December 12, 2014, through December 16, 2016 carried out across 44 UK National Health Service ophthalmology departments.

Participants: Data on 267 participants with baseline best corrected mean visual acuity (BCVA) range of 19-78 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score (approximate Snellen equivalent, 20/32 to 20/320) who had central subfield thickness (CST) ≥ 320μm on Spectralis OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) were analysed.
