Purpose. To demonstrate the results of treatment with the use of a VEGF inhibitor (anti-VEGF) in a clinical case of severe edema of the macular and paramacular regions against the background of toxocaral uveitis in remission. Material and methods. This article presents a clinical case of an 11-year-old female patient with increasing severe macular edema with neovascularization, which appeared against the background of toxocaral uveitis in remission. In connection with the progression of the disease, the patient was injected intravitreally with an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor aflibercept. Results. At discharge, the patient showed positive dynamics in the form of an increase in visual acuity in the left eye from 0.04 to 0.07. According to the results of ophthalmoscopy and OCT of the left eye, a decrease in the area of exudation is determined, which confirms the effectiveness of the treatment. Conclusion. The description of this case can be provided as information about the possibility of using a VEGF inhibitor for exudative processes of the macular region of various etiologies in the absence of the effectiveness of conservative treatment methods. Key words: toxocariasis, uveitis, macular edema, aflibercept, anti-VEGF, OCT.
