Sumario:PURPOSE: To report a case of progressive resolution of exudation in a patient affected by perifoveal vascular anomalous complex (PVAC) undergoing topical diclofenac therapy. OBSERVATIONS: A 74-year-old man presented to our department with visual decrease in his right eye lasting six months. Lack of clinical history of arterial hypertension, diabetes, or any other systemic or local vasculopathy, together with retinal multimodal imaging, led to the diagnosis of exudative (e)PVAC. Serial spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) examinations documented a resolution of intraretinal exudation after one-month topical diclofenac therapy. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Initiation of topical diclofenac was associated with resolution of exudation, therefore we hypothesize its potential role in the treatment of ePVAC.
