Improved perfusion and intraretinal neovascularization after intravitreal bevacizumab injection in central vein occlusion.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of intraretinal neovascularization in a patient with ischemic central venous occlusion.


METHODS
Case report.


RESULTS
An 18-year-old white man presented with painless decreased vision in the right eye. Slit-lamp and biomicroscopic examinations revealed 360° of neovascularization of the iris, venous tortuosity, severe retinal hemorrhages, cotton wool spots, and massive edema of the macula.


CONCLUSIONS
This is the first report of observed intraretinal neovascularization after central vein occlusion. Treatment with photocoagulation and intravitreal bevacizumab injection promoted revascularization after 1 year.
