ABSTRACT
A 52-year-old woman undergoing azathioprine treatment for rheumatoid arthritis developed acute retinal necrosis a month after intravitreal dexamethasone (Ozurdex ®) implantation for posterior uveitis in the left eye. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) DNA was detected in the anterior chamber and vitreous samples on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Retinal detachment occurred despite systemic and intravitreal antiviral therapy. Favorable structural and functional outcomes were achieved after retinal surgery with silicone oil. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first reported case of acute retinal necrosis following placement of an Ozurdex® implant. Physicians practicing Ozurdex® implantations should be aware of this unusual but devastating complication. Extra caution and frequent follow-up are required in all immunocompromised patients receiving Ozurdex® implantation.
RESUMO
Uma mulher de idade de 52 anos em tratamento azatioprina para a artrite reumatóide desenvolveu necrose aguda de retina um mês após implantação Ozurdex® para uveíte posterior do olho esquerdo. DNA de varicela zoster (VZV) foi detectado em amostras de câmara anterior e vítreo por análise de PCR. Apesar da terapia antiviral sistêmica e intravítrea, o paciente apresentou descolamento de retina. Desfecho favorável estrutural e funcional foi obtida após a cirurgia retiniana com óleo de silicone. Pelo conhecimento dos autores, este é o primeiro caso relatado de necrose aguda de retina após a colocação de um implante Ozurdex®. Os médicos que implantam Ozurdex® devem estar cientes desta complicação incomum, mas devastadora. É necessário cuidado extra e acompanhamento frequente dos pacientes que recebam o implante Ozurdex® e apresentem qualquer condição imunocomprometedora.
