Abstract

This is the case of a 14-years-old woman referred to our ophthalmology department with suspected iris juvenile xanthogranuloma, with reported bilateral, hematic recurrent uveitis as soon as she discontinued treatment with topical prednisolone acetate eye drops. After numerous treatments at the 3-year follow-up, including oral steroids, repeated injections of subtenon triamcinolone acetonide and intracameral and intravitreal anti-VEGF, treatment with intravitreal fluocinolone acetonide implant (ILUVIEN®) in both eyes was decided. Evolution since then and at the 10-month follow-up has been satisfactory; the patient has not exhibited any new episodes of ocular inflammation or hyphema despite the progressive withdrawal of topical corticosteroids, and vision has remained at 20/20 in both eyes. As far as we know, this is the first case of bilateral ocular juvenile xanthogranuloma successfully treated with an intravitreal fluocinolone implant.

Resumen

Una mujer de 14 años fue remitida a nuestro servicio de oftalmología con diagnóstico presuntivo de xantogranuloma juvenil de iris, con recidiva de uveítis hemática bilateral al suspender el colirio tópico de acetato de prednisolona. Tras numerosos tratamientos a lo largo de 3 años de seguimiento, incluyendo esteroides orales, inyecciones repetidas de acetónido de triamcinolona subtenoniano y anti-VEGF intracamerales e intravítreos, se decidió tratamiento mediante implante intravítreo de acetónido de fluocinolona (ILUVIEN®) en ambos ojos. La evolución desde entonces y tras 10 meses de seguimiento ha sido satisfactoria; la paciente no ha presentado nuevos episodios de inflamación ocular ni hifema a pesar de la retirada progresiva de los corticoides tópicos, y la visión se mantiene en 20/20 en ambos ojos. Hasta donde sabemos, este es el primer caso de xantogranuloma juvenil ocular bilateral tratado con éxito con un implante intravítreo de fluocinolona.
