A 43-year-old male with chronic Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH) presented with subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in the right eye with no evidence of active inflammation. He underwent intravitreal bevacizumab and dexamethasone injections. Postinjection he developed fresh keratic precipitates and exudative retinal detachment (RD). He received two more bevacizumab injections with oral corticosteroids and immunosuppressants causing resolution of exudative RD with scarred CNVM. We report this case to highlight that intravitreal injection may act as a trigger for rebound inflammation in VKH patients and may require anti-inflammatory drugs to be started even in the absence of an active inflammation.
一位 43 岁的男性患有慢性 Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada 综合征(VKH),右眼出现黄斑下脉络膜新生血管膜(CNVM),无活动性炎症证据。他接受了玻璃体内贝伐单抗和地塞米松注射治疗。注射后,他出现了新的角膜后沉着物和渗出性视网膜脱离(RD)。他又接受了两次贝伐单抗注射,并口服皮质类固醇和免疫抑制剂,渗出性 RD 随着 CNVM 的瘢痕化而得到解决。我们报告这个病例是为了强调,玻璃体内注射可能会引发 VKH 患者的炎症反弹,即使没有活动性炎症,也可能需要开始使用抗炎药物。
