Abstract
Type 1 neovascularization with aneurysmal dilations (N1a), is a retinal disorder characterized by choroidal vascular abnormalities. Clinically, it is characterized by an exudative maculopathy with multiple recurrent serosanguineous pigment epithelial detachments. This disease is more common in women aged 55-65 years. However, we present an exceptional case of N1a in a 26-year-old woman, who responded favorably to aflibercept. As far as we know, this is the first case ever reported of a young woman under 30 with N1a. The patient has responded very favourably to anti-VEGF therapy with three intravitreal injections of aflibercept. Moreover, we provide an update on anti-VEGF therapeutic options for N1a.
