Résumé
We report the case of a 72-year-old white woman with blurring of vision in both eyes of 15 days' duration. She had a history of treatment for bilateral tuberculosis choroiditis 20 years before. She was diagnosed with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in the right eye and inflammatory choroidal neovascular membrane in the left eye, based on multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography, fundus fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography. The right eye received 3 intravitreal injections of aflibercept and showed complete resolution. The left eye was treated with a single intravitreal injection of aflibercept.
