Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography of retinal occlusive vasculitis following brolucizumab administration: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We present a case of retinal occlusive vasculitis following brolucizumab administration and the first report of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings after treatment.

Case presentation

A 71-year-old man complained of vision loss in the left eye 6 weeks after brolucizumab injection. His visual acuity was counting fingers, and examination revealed 1 + anterior chamber cells with 2 + vitreous cells. Fundus examination demonstrated vitreous haze, retinal whitening, and vascular sheathing.
