CHOROIDAL LESIONS UNRESPONSIVE TO FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE INTRAVITREAL IMPLANT IN BIRDSHOT CHORIORETINOPATHY

View through CrossRef
Purpose: To report the persistence of choroidal lesions despite fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implants and their resolution with oral prednisone treatment. Methods: Retrospective chart review of a birdshot chorioretinopathy patient at a tertiary referral clinic. Results: Indocyanine angiography revealed resolution of choroidal lesions with oral prednisone and recurrence after discontinuation of oral prednisone. Conclusion: Choroidal lesions responded to oral prednisone despite bilateral active fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant in a birdshot chorioretinopathy patient.
