Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) is an acute, non-infectious postoperative inflammatory reaction of the anterior segment of the
eye, that usually develops 12-48 hours after intraocular surgery. Mostly, the inflammation is resolved with appropriate treatment within days
or weeks, with a good outcome; however, infrequently complications such as permanent corneal edema, secondary glaucoma, and chronic
macular edema can occur jeopardizing the visual outcome. The aim of this study is to present the clinical outcomes of intravitreal aflibercept
injection in a case with macular edema associated with TASS.
