PROLIFERATIVE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY (PDR)

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 02/01/2022

This 69YO male with type 2 diabetes presented with severe acute vision loss in his left eye from a large posterior pole subhyaloid hemorrhage.

The hemorrhage blocks on fluorescein angiography, with a few areas of leaking neovascularization and severe peripheral ischemia.

He was initially treated with intravitreal Avastin, and over the coming months, panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) was performed.

However, he later developed a large vitreous hemorrhage and will likely need vitrectomy surgery.
