PurposeTo evaluate anatomical and functional outcomes of Faricimab therapy on a case of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) refractory to previous treatments.Major findingsA 56-year-old patient with PCV presenting with a large pigment epithelial detachment (PED) showed best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improvement, subretinal fluid (SRF) reduction and PED height reduction at 2 months follow up after a loading phase of 4 monthly Faricimab injections. The patient had previously undergone Aflibercept, Brolucizumab and photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatments with a suboptimal response.ConclusionDespite Faricimab proving itself as an efficient alternative in a case of PCV poorly responsive to previous treatments, definite evidence still needs to be confirmed in larger studies.
评估法西单抗治疗对一例先前治疗难治性息肉状脉络膜血管病变(PCV)的解剖学和功能结局。
一名患有PCV且伴有大的色素上皮脱离(PED)的56岁患者,在接受4次每月一次的法西单抗注射的负荷期后,随访2个月时最佳矫正视力(BCVA)提高、视网膜下液(SRF)减少且PED高度降低。该患者先前接受过阿柏西普、布罗利尤单抗和光动力疗法(PDT)治疗,但反应欠佳。
尽管法西单抗在一例对先前治疗反应不佳的PCV病例中证明是一种有效的替代方法,但仍需要在更大规模的研究中确认确切证据。
