Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a subtype of neovascular age-related macular degeneration characterised by an abnormal branching vascular network with aneurysmal polypoidal choroidal vascular lesions. PCV is more prevalent in Asian populations than in Caucasians, which may explain its underdiagnosis in Western countries. Evidence regarding the efficacy of different anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents on PCV is scarce, with most of these studies being conducted in Asian treatment-naïve patients. Ranibizumab was the first anti-VEGF agent to demonstrate the superiority of a combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and anti-VEGF over PDT or anti-VEGF monotherapy for inducing polyp regression in Asian patients with PCV. The efficacy of other anti-VEGF agents has been less studied. Resistance to ranibizumab has been described. Aflibercept offers another mechanism of targeting choroidal neovascular lesions. A 75-year-old Caucasian woman presenting to our office was diagnosed with PCV using indocyanine green angiography. Combination therapy with a loading dose of 0.5 mg intravitreal ranibizumab followed by PDT at standard fluence at month 4 and a fourth dose of ranibizumab at month 5 yielded no visual or anatomic outcomes. Treatment was switched to intravitreal aflibercept at month 6 (3 monthly loading doses of 2.0 mg) followed by half-fluence PDT (month 9). Optical coherence tomography revealed remission of the anatomic lesions. Right-eye visual acuity increased to 0.6. Aflibercept injections were administered bimonthly afterwards. Follow-up during 1 year has shown functional and anatomic stability.
