Combination of photodynamic therapy with intravitreal bevacizumab for post-peribulbar anesthesia (penetrating trauma)-persistent choroidal neovascular membrane

Abstract

We report a case of a choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) following ocular penetration during peribulbar anesthesia in a 55-year-old male patient. A combination of photodynamic therapy with intravitreal bevacizumab led to resolution of the persistent CNVM.
