Abstract

|
|
Purpose: To report a case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment following intravitreal ranibizumab injection in the treatment of myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) with pathologic high myopia.
Methods: A 44 year old woman was diagnosed with myopic CNV and treated with intravitreal ranibizumab injection.
Results: The patient developed a sudden decline in vision two weeks after the injection, and was subsequently diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. She underwent standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection. The macular was still attached, but subretinal fluid was remained at the inferior peripheral retina at the patient’s final follow-up visit.
Conclusions: Intravitreal ranibizumab injection used for the treatment of myopic CNV can be associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Patients need to be informed about this potential complication, and higher suspicion is needed in patients who report sudden vision loss after the treatment.
