Abstract:
AIM: To describe a case in which vitrectomy was required for vitreous hemorrhage and fibrovascular proliferation after laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis (LCVA) for non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).METHODS: Observational case report.RESULTS: A 72-year-old man complained of central scotoma in the left eye, and was diagnosed as suffering from non-ischemic CRVO. LCVA was performed in another hospital. Although favorable visual function was briefly maintained postoperatively,severe vitreous hemorrhage developed in his left eye, necessitating vitrectomy. CONCLUSION: Considering that LCVA carries a risk of serious complications, we must apply this treatment with caution, especially in ethnic groups, such as the Japanese, in whom pigmentation reacts to photocoagulation excessively.
