{Abstract}: Idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome is a rare and progressive disorder that predominantly affects both the eyes of young female individuals and can threaten visual function. Peripheral ischemia and macular exudation are common findings in patients. The treatment options include panretinal photocoagulation (PRP), systemic immunosuppression, and intravitreal antiangiogenic and corticosteroid therapy. Fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant is approved for the treatment of nonanterior noninfectious uveitis and diabetic macular edema (ME), with an estimated therapeutic duration of 3 years. We describe a case of IRVAN syndrome in a child with ME who had been previously treated with PRP, antiangiogenic therapy, and several dexamethasone intravitreal implants and received a fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant in her right eye. The patient showed stabilization of the visual acuity and a marked reduction of the macular thickness 1 month after the treatment. At 12-month follow-up, the patient required perifoveal focal photocoagulation due to a rebound of the ME. After 2 years of follow-up, visual acuity remains stable and macular retinal thickening under control. Local long-standing steroid therapy has proved to be quite efficient in controlling the progression of the disease in our patient.
