Abstract Purpose:We report a rare case of neovascular glaucoma and choroidal neovascularization occurring during the cicatricial stage of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) following anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(anti-VEGF) therapy.

Case:A 2-year-3-month-old boy, born at 26 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 780 g, developed bilateral aggressive ROP(A-ROP) at a corrected age of 33 weeks. He received bilateral intravitreal ranibizumab injections, followed by extensive retinal photocoagulation at 36 weeks. At 49 weeks, the left eye required an additional intravitreal ranibizumab injection for recurrent neovascularization. At 2 years 3 months of age, he presented with left-eye hyperemia, mydriasis, and elevated intraocular pressure. Examination revealed iris neovascularization, and fluorescein angiography demonstrated vascular leakage, confirming neovascular glaucoma. Treatment included additional retinal photocoagulation, intravitreal aflibercept injection, and micropulse cyclophotocoagulation. Three months postoperatively, residual iris neovascularization persisted in the left eye, requiring repeat cyclophotocoagulation. Choroidal neovascularization was subsequently observed in both eyes.

Conclusion:In patients with A-ROP treated with anti-VEGF therapy, neovascular glaucoma and delayed-onset choroidal neovascularization may develop during the cicatricial phase. Long-term fundus monitoring is therefore essential.
