Abstract

A patient presented with melanocytoma and associated choroidal neovascular membrane with hemorrhage involving the macula. The patient was treated with monthly aflibercept (Eylea) injections with significant improvement of best corrected visual acuity. In this report, we explore the development of a choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) formation in a patient with melanocytoma and the effect of intravitreal aflibercept (Eylea) on disease course. Case report study used patient data obtained from examination and imaging. The patient was treated with monthly intravitreal aflibercept injections leading to complete resolution of CNVM and hemorrhage, with significant improvement of best corrected visual acuity. Awareness and proper monitoring for the sequelae of melanocytoma are important for early detection and prevention of visually threatening outcomes. In cases of melanocytoma-associated CNVM formation with large subretinal hemorrhage, intravitreal aflibercept can be an effective tool for inducing CNVM regression and allowing improvement of visual acuity.
