TL;DR: Deep retinal vascular anomalous complex represents histologically neovascularisation growing out of the neuroretina, into the subretinal space, which mimics choroidal neov vascularisation.

TL;DR: First reports on intravitreal injections of bevacizumab show promising morphological and functional effects and demonstrate that bevacsumab is a potent antiedematous agent in this context.

TL;DR: Ocular side effects and complications show a wide variety of clinical signs and underlying causal mechanisms, however, the consequences are mostly temporary and show a good response to therapeutic intervention.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present recommendations for intravitreal injections to contribute to a minimization of the risk for complications, including meticulous preoperative antisepsis with povidon iodine, a sterile environment using a sterile lid speculum, drape and gloves, the use of an adequate injection technique and the exclusion of postoperative retinal non-perfusion.
