BACKGROUND: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is well recognized as a complication of laser photocoagulation for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). However, little is known about its management. PATIENTS: Two patients who developed iatrogenic CNV after laser photocoagulation for CSC. OBSERVATIONS: A single intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection was given in both cases. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 1 of the patients improved from 0.3 to 0.5 on the following day and to 1.2 three months after the IVB, and the BCVA of the other patient improved from 0.5 to 1.0 two weeks after the IVB. In both cases, the CNV became inactive 1 month after IVB on fluorescein angiography and remained stable for over 1 year. CONCLUSION: IVB was beneficial for iatrogenic CNV that developed after laser photocoagulation for CSC. |
