Abstract
To assess the potential visual benefit of intravitreal bevacizumab in a patient with idiopathic juxtafoveal retinal telangiectasis refractory to focal laser treatment, an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.25 mg) was given. Within 1 week, visual acuity improved from 20/50 to 20/25 and optical coherence tomography demonstrated complete resolution of macular edema. There was no adverse effect. The macular edema recurred after 3 months, requiring a repeat injection of bevacizumab with subsequent resolution of macular edema. An intravitreal injection of bevacizumab may provide potential short-term visual benefit in patients with macular edema from idiopathic juxtafoveal retinal telangiectasis.
