Abstract
PURPOSE: to report a case of acute macular neuroretinopathy occurring after intravitreal aflibercept injection for macular edema due to CRVO. OBSERVATIONS: Two days after Aflibercept intravitreal injection, the patient developed vision loss associated with a central scotoma. Optical coherence tomography showed a hyperreflective band at the level of the outer nuclear/outer plexiform layer corresponding to the patient's scotoma, ruling in the diagnosis of acute macular neuroretinopahty. Even though the OCT abnormalities resolved spontaneously, only partial resolution of the scotoma was observed 4 months later. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Acute macular neuroretinopathy might be associated with intravitreal anti-VEGF injection.
