Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: We report a case of diabetic papillopathy in a patient with peripapillary staphyoma that was successfully treated via intravitreal dexamethasone implant injection.
Case summary: A 50-year-old male patient with peripapillary staphyloma exhibited diabetic papillopathy associated with subretinal fluid in the right eye. Intravitreal dexamethasone implant injection resolved both the diabetic papillopathy and subretinal fluid within 1 month, and yielded visual improvement.
Conclusions: Diabetic papillopathy can occur in a patient with peripapillary staphyloma. Intravitreal dexamethasone implants are viable treatment options for diabetic papillopathy.
