Fluorescein angiography showed vascular occlusion in the retinal periphery, focal staining of vessels, and microaneurysms. Indocyanine green angiography showed hyperfluorescent spots alongside the choroidal veins. Two days after receiving intravitreal injection of ranibizumab, the clinical picture regressed. The diagnosis of retinal amyloid angiopathy was made, and a peripheral retinal laser photocoagulation was done. The final best-corrected visual acuity after 2 years of follow-up was 0.4 (Snellen) in the left eye.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Intravitreal injections of ranibizumab should be evaluated for a potential role on the treatment of amyloid angiopathy neovascular glaucoma. Careful retinal periphery examination should be included in the ophthalmologic examination of all familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy patients.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/icb.0b013e3182681259","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,21]],"date-time":"2012-09-21T21:40:17Z","timestamp":1348263617000},"page":"114-116","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["THE USE OF INTRAVITREAL RANIBIZUMAB TO TREAT NEOVASCULAR GLAUCOMA BECAUSE OF RETINAL AMYLOID ANGIOPATHY IN FAMILIAL AMYLOIDOSIS TRANSTHYRETIN V30M RELATED"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Nuno M.","family":"Beir\u00e3o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Vasco","family":"Miranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Idalina","family":"Beir\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Paulo P.","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Paulo","family":"Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-32-20240721","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"247","DOI":"10.3109\/13506120209114101","article-title":".
