Abstract

Case report: A 28 year-old male attended our Emergency Department with a traumatic choroidal rupture and macular haemorrhage. After pneumatic displacement of the haemorrhage with C ₃F ₈ and tissue plasminogen activator, the haemorrhage was reabsorbed and visual acuity (VA) improved. Three months later the patient presented with decreased VA and a juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) that was treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. One year after a single bevacizumab injection the CNV remained inactive, with a final VA of 0.5. Discussion: Intravitreal bevacizumab injection is a new and effective treatment for traumatic CNV. In our patient, in contrast to other aetiologies, the CNV needed no more than one Avastin ^® injection to be inactivated, after one year of follow-up.
