To describe a case of inflammatory neovascularization of the lens after open globe injury.
Case report.
A 57-year-old man presented with severe inflammation, posterior synechiae with traumatic cataract, and thick neovascularization of the intralenticular and anterior lens capsule after open globe injury in the left eye. We administered an intravitreal bevacizumab injection and performed cataract surgery with synechiolysis 1 month later.
Inflammation after open globe injury may present as intralenticular neovascularization. Before cataract surgery for traumatic cataract with intralenticular neovascularization, the use of intravitreal bevacizumab injection was ineffective.
