A 44-year-old-female with angioid streak- (AS-) associated choroidal-neovascularization (CNV) was treated with one dose of intravitreal brolucizumab (IB). At one-month, the patient's visual acuity (VA) improved from 20/120 to 20/40 with a dry macula on spectral-domain optical-coherence tomography (SD-OCT). After observation, the VA improved further to 20/32 with absence of any fluid on the SD-OCT at three months. No ocular or systemic adverse events were noted. In conclusion, intravitreal brolucizumab (IB) is an efficacious and safe therapeutic option for the management of CNV secondary to AS. Further prospective studies with a larger sample size, varied therapeutic regimens, and longer follow-up period are needed to corroborate our findings.
一名患有血管样条纹(AS)相关脉络膜新生血管(CNV)的44岁女性接受了一剂玻璃体内注射布罗珠单抗(IB)治疗。在1个月时,患者的视力(VA)从20/120提高到20/40,光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)显示黄斑干燥。观察后,3个月时VA进一步提高到20/32,SD-OCT上未见任何液体。未观察到眼部或全身不良事件。总之,玻璃体内注射布罗珠单抗(IB)是治疗AS继发CNV的一种有效且安全的治疗选择。需要进一步进行更大样本量、不同治疗方案和更长随访期的前瞻性研究来证实我们的发现。
