Intra-vitreal bevacizumab in patients with Juvenile Vitelliform Dystrophy (Best Disease)

Figure 1. Right fundus of Case One, eighteen months prior to the time of presentation with decreased left visual acuity. A vitelliform macular lesion typical of Best disease is present.

Juvenile Vitelliform Dystrophy (Best disease) is a degenerative macular condition that is genetically inherited. In recent years monoclonal antibodies have been employed to help prevent the decline in vision associated with macular fluid. This report documents the use of intra-vitreal bevacizumab in two siblings (aged thirteen and fifteen) with Best Disease. This work studies the changes observed in visual acuity and macular oedema over a 39 and nineteen week period respectively.
