Abstract
- Purpose: To present a case of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome that was successfully managed with serial intravitreal aflibercept injections.<br />Methods: Ophthalmic imaging and visual acuity were used to monitor disease state and track treatment methods to determine the most valuable combination of treatment medication and treatment interval.<br />Results: A 28-year-old woman with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome status after panretinal photocoagulation of both eyes presented with bilateral cystoid macular edema. We demonstrate successful management of retinal cystoid macular edema associated with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome using serial intravitreal aflibercept injections.<br />Conclusion: Intravitreal aflibercept has a useful role in managing the potential retinal complications associated with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome and provides further insights into treatment of the later stages of this rare disease.
