Unexpected Vision Loss following Six Intravitreal Injections for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
Introduction: We present a case of a patient with preceding vitreomacular traction (VMT) who developed a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) following his sixth intravitreal aflibercept injection for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration and review the literature on risk factors and pathogenesis of this adverse event.
Case presentation: FTMH can occur after an extended number of repeat intravitreal injections in the setting of worsening vitreomacular adhesion or VMT. This patient's FTMH was successfully treated surgically in a timely manner, and additional injections were resumed safely.
Conclusions: Patients with an unexpected decrease in vision after intravitreal injections should be reevaluated with optical coherence tomography to rule out alternative pathology including vitreomacular interface abnormalities. FTMH, if present, should be treated promptly to allow for resumption of therapy as needed and visual optimization.
期刊介绍：
This peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of ophthalmology, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, toxicities of therapy, supportive care, quality-of-life, and survivorship issues. The submission of negative results is strongly encouraged. The journal will also accept case reports dealing with the use of novel technologies, both in the arena of diagnosis and treatment. Supplementary material is welcomed. The intent of the journal is to provide clinicians and researchers with a tool to disseminate their personal experiences to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. Universally used terms can be searched across the entire growing collection of case reports, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
