Smartphone Fundoscopy

  • DESCRIPTION

5 ROP retinal detachment after bevacizumab monotherapy. Indeed, we have detected a new retinal detachment as late as 72 weeks PMA. We speculate that the anti-VEGF treatment was inadequately effective in these cases because the dos- age did not match the load or duration of the endogenous VEGF production. As a result, in some cases despite a dramatic early response, the blocking effect wanes and recurrence may occur. We have observed that this reactiva- tion of proliferative ROP after bevacizumab may occur at the original posterior site of extraretinal fibrovascular pro- liferation rather than at the junction of the vascular and avascular retina. Undetected, this recurrence of ROP may lead to rapid retinal detachment and blindness. Recognizing that the disease pattern after laser treatment, which has shaped current clinical practice, is less predictive when applied to eyes treated with bevacizumab should addition- ally increase vigilance.
