Efficacy of reduced dose of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide in a case of active serpiginous choroiditis.

ABSTRACT

Active serpiginous choroiditis (SC) is a vision‑threatening condition which requires intensive treatment using corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressives, especially if the lesions are involving or encroaching on the macula. Use of oral and intravenous high‑dose steroids are contraindicated in uncontrolled diabetics. Intravitreal steroid delivers a localized dose in such situations. This case report highlights the efficacy of reduced dose of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg) in the treatment of active SC.
