Four-month back pain after verteporfin treatment: clinical case notes
Clare L Fraser1, Jennifer J Arnold
1From Marsden Eye Specialists, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Objective:
To describe the case of a patient with long-term back pain post verteporfin injection for photodynamic therapy.
Methods:
Clinical case description from a metropolitan ophthalmic practice.
Results:
Following injection of verteporfin, the patient developed continuous severe back pain. The back pain resolved over 4 months, and despite thorough orthopaedic and neurologic work-up, no other explanation was found.
Conclusion:
The temporal association of pain with verteporfin treatment, combined with a failure to identify an alternate cause, led the authors to attribute the patient's back pain to photodynamic therapy treatment.
