PURPOSE
To describe a case of frosted branch angiitis after intravitreal ranibizumab injection.
METHODS
Retrospective chart review.
RESULTS
A patient with a history of neovascular age-related macular degeneration underwent intravitreal ranibizumab injection and subsequently developed coagulase-negative Staphylococcus endophthalmitis with findings of frosted branch angiitis.
CONCLUSION
Endophthalmitis presenting as frosted branch angiitis is a rare complication after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection. Early recognition is critical to optimize outcomes. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of frosted branch angiitis as a presentation of endophthalmitis with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus.
