Abstract

This case demonstrates that probing and 10% povidone-iodine irrigation of the nasolacrimal duct prior to intravitreal bevacizumab injection can safely reduce the risk of endophthalmitis in infants with aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity and nasolacrimal duct obstruction. This method provides a viable treatment alternative when laser therapy alone is insufficient.

治疗伴有鼻泪管阻塞和脓性分泌物的早产儿侵袭性后部视网膜病变：病例报告。

本病例表明，在玻璃体内注射贝伐珠单抗之前对鼻泪管进行探查和 10%聚维酮碘冲洗，可以安全地降低患有侵袭性早产儿后部视网膜病变和鼻泪管阻塞的婴儿发生眼内炎的风险。当激光疗法不足以解决问题时，这种方法不失为一种可行的替代治疗方法。

期刊介绍： Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
