There wasn't any significant medical history except an application of a steroid injection for trigger point 17 months ago. Fundus examination demonstrated atrophic changes of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the central macula OU. Optical coherence tomography showed subfoveal neurosensorial detachment adjacent to RPE detachment in the right eye and macular atrophy in the left eye. Fundus fluorescein angiography was consistent with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). This report describes the possible benefit of intravitreal bevacizumab in the treatment of chronic CSC complicated with trigger point steroid injection.
