METHODS: A 36-year-old female patient complained of "painless vision decline in the left eye with obscuration for 10 d". Slit-lamp microscopic fundus examination revealed white-yellow subretinal exudates in the posterior pole in both eyes, retinal detachment with shifting subretinal fluid in the left eye, and no retinal hiatus. Fundus fluorescein angiography revealed multiple subretinal leakage foci and localized hypofluorescent lesions with patched hyperfluorescence. There was fluorescence leakage in the retinal vessels in the retinal detachment area and occluded blood vessels in the lower and peripheral areas. Indocyanine green angiography revealed multifocal lamellar hyperfluorescence in the middle stage and low fluorescence in the retinal detachment area in the late stage. Retinal anatomical reduction significantly improved with intravitreal conbercept injections.
CONCLUSIONS: Intravitreal injection of conbercept can anatomically reattach the retina in patients with bullous retinal detachment.
