To present a case of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced bilateral peripheral ulcerative keratitis that progressed to corneal perforation requiring keratoplasty in both eyes.
We describe the course of a 60-year-old man treated with a combination of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab for metastatic melanoma who presented with foreign body sensation and epiphora in both eyes.Bilateral immune-related peripheral ulcerative keratitis was refractory to topical anti-inflammatory therapy, necessitating repetitive, but unsuccessful cyanoacrylate gluing procedure followed by bilateral lamellar mini-keratoplasty.
Combined immune checkpoint inhibition revokes the corneal immune privilege and can lead to auto-immune keratitis with recalcitrant progression to ulceration and perforation.
报告1例免疫检查点抑制剂诱发的双侧周边溃疡性角膜炎,病情进展至角膜穿孔,双眼均需进行角膜移植术。
我们描述了一名60岁男性的病程,该患者因转移性黑色素瘤接受伊匹木单抗和纳武单抗联合治疗,出现双眼异物感和溢泪。双侧免疫相关性周边溃疡性角膜炎对局部抗炎治疗无效,需要反复进行氰基丙烯酸酯粘贴术,但未成功,随后进行了双眼板层微型角膜移植术。
联合免疫检查点抑制作用会消除角膜免疫赦免,可导致自身免疫性角膜炎,并顽固地进展为溃疡和穿孔。
