PURPOSE: To report two patients with endogenous endophthalmitis complicated by choroidal neovascularization managed with intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA) or ranibizumab (Lucentis, Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA) and their respective outcomes.
METHODS: Retrospective chart review of 2 patients, one a 54-year-old diabetic woman on chemotherapy for pemphigus vulgaris and the other a 77-year-old diabetic male with cellulitis, who were treated for endogenous endophthalmitis complicated by choroidal neovascularization.
RESULTS: The patients were managed with off-label intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections. The first patient received one dose of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) with improvement in vision and anatomy. The second patient received four doses of intravitreal ranibizumab (Lucentis) with improvement in vision and structural appearance.
CONCLUSION: Choroidal neovascularization secondary to endogenous endophthalmitis responds to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy with bevacizumab or ranibizumab.
