Symptoms resembling endophthalmitis developed 1 day after the seventh injection of bevacizumab in a 76-year-old woman with extrafoveal occult choroidal neovascularization in conjunction with age-related macular degeneration. The diagnosis reached was an immune reaction with pseudohypopyon after repeated bevacizumab injections. The condition resolved completely within 5 days under sole administration of corticosteroids. Treatment was then continued with pegaptanib and no further intraocular irritation occurred.
