This work aims to discuss the case of a 32-year-old man with diabetic macular edema (DME) who underwent successful treatment of a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) with a single dose of aflibercept.
A case report is presented.
A 32-year-old man with reduced vision and DME in the right eye was found to have a FTMH. The patient was scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy; however, following a single dose of intravitreal aflibercept, the FTMH closed and the patient avoided surgical intervention.
FTMH formation in DME is a rare complication that typically requires surgical intervention. We present a case of FTMH closure after a single dose of intravitreal aflibercept, which to our knowledge is the first of its kind. This report highlights the importance of considering conservative treatment initially to avoid surgery.
本研究旨在探讨一名32岁患有糖尿病性黄斑水肿(DME)的男性患者,其单剂量阿柏西普成功治疗了全层黄斑裂孔(FTMH)的病例。
呈现一例病例报告。
一名32岁右眼视力下降且患有DME的男性被发现有FTMH。该患者原计划行玻璃体切除术;然而,在单剂量玻璃体内注射阿柏西普后,FTMH闭合,患者避免了手术干预。
DME中FTMH的形成是一种罕见的并发症,通常需要手术干预。我们报告了一例单剂量玻璃体内注射阿柏西普后FTMH闭合的病例,据我们所知,这是首例此类病例。本报告强调了最初考虑保守治疗以避免手术的重要性。
