Abstract
Purpose. To report the results of the posterior pole sparing laser photocoagulation combinedwith intravitreal bevacizumab injection
(IVB) in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods. A retrospective chart review of premature babies with ROP, all of whom
received laser photocoagulation with IVB. Eleven eyes of 6 infants with advanced zone I ROP underwent laser ablation sparing
posterior pole with concurrent IVB. The results were compared with those of full-laser treatment combined with IVB to 8 eyes
of 5 infants with advanced ROP without involvement of the posterior pole. Results.The posterior pole sparing laser with IVB was
performed with zone I, stage 3+ ROP at the mean postmenstrual age of 36 weeks and 5 days. The plus sign decreased significantly
at postoperative day 1, the neovascular proliferation regressed by postoperative week 1, and the normal vascularization started at
postoperative day 32 on the average. Two months after treatment, vascularization of the spared avascular area was completed. There
was nomacular dragging, tractional retinal detachment, foveal destruction by laser scars, or any other adverse event. No significant
anatomical differenceswere identified fromthose of full-laser ablation combined with IVB. Conclusions. Posterior pole sparing laser
with IVB can give favorable results without destruction of posterior pole retina.
