To describe the first use of the bispecific monoclonal antibody faricimab for sarcoid uveitis with refractory cystoid macular edema (CME). A single case was evaluated. An 82-year-old woman presented with blurred vision and signs of sarcoid uveitis bilaterally, including swollen optic discs with disc nodules, CME with chorioretinal peripheral lesions in the right eye and segmental periphlebitis in the left eye. Treatment with intravitreal faricimab was initiated after systemic and topical prednisolone and oral ibuprofen failed. Significant improvement in the patient's best-corrected visual acuity and central subfield thickness was seen after 2 faricimab injections. Optical coherence tomography showed resolution of the intraretinal cyst and CME. Color fundus photography also showed improvement in the optic disc swelling and resolution of the retinal macroaneurysm. Faricimab can be a promising treatment for refractory CME in patients with sarcoid uveitis.
描述双特异性单克隆抗体法瑞西单抗首次用于治疗结节病性葡萄膜炎伴难治性黄斑囊样水肿(CME)的情况。评估了1例病例。一名82岁女性出现视力模糊及双侧结节病性葡萄膜炎体征,包括视盘肿胀伴视盘结节、右眼黄斑囊样水肿伴脉络膜视网膜周边病变以及左眼节段性静脉周围炎。在全身及局部使用泼尼松龙和口服布洛芬治疗无效后,开始玻璃体内注射法瑞西单抗治疗。注射2次法瑞西单抗后,患者的最佳矫正视力和中心子野厚度有显著改善。光学相干断层扫描显示视网膜内囊肿和黄斑囊样水肿消退。彩色眼底照相也显示视盘肿胀改善及视网膜大动脉瘤消退。法瑞西单抗可能是治疗结节病性葡萄膜炎患者难治性黄斑囊样水肿的一种有前景的治疗方法。
