Intravitreal bevacizumab and triamcinolone treatment for choroidal neovascularization in Best disease.
An 11-year-old girl with active subfoveal choroidal neovascularization associated with Best disease responded well to a single intravitreal injection of combined bevacizumab and triamcinolone acetonide. Choroidal neovascularization regressed, subretinal serous fluid resorbed, and visual acuity improved from 20/400 to 20/100. The patient remained stable for 6 months after injection.
