Fluocinolone Implant for Idiopathic Retinal Vasculitis, Aneurysms, and Neuroretinitis Syndrome: A Case Report

We describe a case of IRVAN syndrome in a child with ME who had been previously treated with PRP, antiangiogenic therapy, and several dexamethasone intravitreal implants and received a fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant in her right eye. The patient showed stabilization of the visual acuity and a marked reduction of the macular thickness 1 month after the treatment. At 12-month follow-up, the patient required perifoveal focal photocoagulation due to a rebound of the ME. After 2 years of follow-up, visual acuity remains stable and macular retinal thickening under control. Local long-standing steroid therapy has proved to be quite efficient in controlling the progression of the disease in our patient.Case Rep Ophthalmol 2021;12:824 –830
