“…These options include medical treatment, laser photocoagulation and vitreoretinal surgery, or a combination of them [2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. …”

“…PRP is often effective, especially in disease stages 2 and 3 [5, 6, 7, 12]. The role of immunosuppressives or immunomodulatory treatment remains uncertain [2].…”
The idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome is a disease characterized by multiple retinal macroaneurysms, neuroretinitis and peripheral capillary nonperfusion. Visual loss may result from either ischemia-related complications or macular involvement. Treatment is not always rewarding. We report a case with stage 2 IRVAN syndrome who was successfully treated with a single bilateral intravitreal dexamethasone implant in addition to panretinal photocoagulation and systemic azathioprine treatment.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
