RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe the risk factors, clinical course, and complications of migration of a dexamethasone (DEX) intravitreal implant (OZURDEX; Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) into the anterior chamber and subsequent management strategies. DESIGN: Retrospective, observational case series. PARTICIPANTS: Fifteen patients had 18 episodes of migration of the DEX implant into the anterior chamber. METHODS: The medical records of 15 patients with spontaneous migration of a DEX implant were retrospectively reviewed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Migration of the DEX implant into the anterior chamber. RESULTS: Migration of a DEX intravitreal implant into the anterior chamber occurred in 6 patients who were aphakic, 4 patients with an anterior chamber intraocular lens, 2 patients with a scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL), 2 patients with a PCIOL, and 1 patient with an iris-fixated PCIOL. All 15 patients had prior pars plana vitrectomy, and 14 patients (93%) had no lens capsule. The average interval from DEX implant injection to detection of the implant migration into the anterior chamber was 13 days (range, 5-44 days). In 14 patients, corneal edema developed. Among those eyes undergoing surgical removal of the implant, earlier intervention reduced the likelihood of permanent corneal edema (0.5 days [from diagnosis of migration to surgical removal of the implant] vs. 5.5 days; P = 0.04). Aspiration was necessary to remove the implant in 6 patients. Among the 14 patients with corneal edema, the corneal edema did not resolve in 10 patients (71%), 6 (43%) of whom required corneal transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: Absence of lens capsule and prior vitrectomy are risk factors for migration of the DEX implant into the anterior chamber. Early removal of the implant may be necessary to minimize the risk of chronic corneal edema.

RESUMO

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to describe a novel case of idiopathic central nervous system inflammatory disease with bilateral human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27-positive anterior uveitis. Methods/Results: A 15-year-old African American boy with bilateral HLA-B27-positive anterior uveitis controlled with topical and oral steroids for 8 months acutely developed headaches, left eyelid ptosis, and binocular diplopia. Imaging showed lesions in the right midbrain, superior colliculus, cerebellar peduncles, and cerebellar vermis and leptomeningeal enhancement along the vermian foliae. Cerebral spinal fluid tests showed mild lymphohistiocytic pleocytosis with negative cytology; inflammatory and infectious workup were negative. He received intravenous methylprednisolone without initial symptomatic improvement; repeat magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed reduced lesion burden. Oral steroids were continued; his symptoms resolved in 1 month. Repeat MRI 2 months after presentation showed almost complete lesion resolution. Conclusions: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) was diagnosed. HLA-B27 positivity may represent a novel association with CLIPPERS.
