Abstract
A 23-month-old girl born at 23 weeks' gestational age with a birth weight of 453 g and reti-nopathy of prematurity (ROP) stage 4A in 360 degrees and plus disease in both eyes was treated in another in-stitution with laser; her treatment was complicated with two cardiac arrests during the procedure. The patient was referred and treated at 31 weeks with repeated intravitreal bevacizumab injection in both eyes secondary to progressive ROP. Treatment with multiple anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy as monotherapy led to the resolu-tion of a retinal detachment and full vasculariza-tion of the retina in both eyes. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first description of a patient with stage 4A ROP treated solely with anti-VEGF after failed laser treatment that led to com-plete resolution of a retinal detachment without surgical intervention.
