Resolution of exudative changes refractory to ranibizumab after aflibercept injections at the margin of inferior staphyloma in tilted disc syndrome

Abstract

An 81-year-old woman presented with blurred vision in the left eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/100. Ophthalmologic examination in the left eye revealed tilted disc syndrome with exudative change at the margin of inferior staphyloma. The exudative change persisted despite monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injections for 5 months. Subsequently, two intravitreal aflibercept injections 1 month apart were substituted for the ranibizumab injections, resulting in successful resolution of the exudative change.
