Occurrence of macular hematoma after ranibizumab treatment for age-related macular degeneration.

CONCLUSIONS: Macular hematoma may follow intravitreal anti-VEGF injection for exudative AMD with large occult neovascularization, especially if a large RPE tear is found. The occurrence does not seem to be linked to anticoagulation treatment or the presence of VMT. PMID: 25684081 [PubMed - in process]
