Abstract

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy is increasing in popularity for treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Despite many technical benefits, issues remain prompting further investigation. Retrospective case report and literature review. A 42-week-old postmenstrual age female with gestational age of 28 weeks and birth weight of 990 g presented with prominent progression of peripapillary purely tractional atypical stage 4A ROP in both eyes following intravitreal bevacizumab therapy in the right eye only. The authors present the first reported case, to their knowledge, of a "crunch" phenomenon tractional retinal detachment from fellow eye administration of bevacizumab. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:e102-e104.].
