Abstract
Aim – to present a clinical case of the remnant of the Ozurdex implant in the vitreous body.
Material and methods. One patient was under observation. During the preoperative examination and surgical treatment, two fragments of the Ozurdex implant were found in the vitreous body.
Results. The presented clinical case shows that the remnants of the Ozurdex intravitreal implant can persist for 10 months or more after injection. This fact is clinically important for assessing the therapeutic effect and choice of further treatment tactics for a patient.
