A 57-year-old female with serpiginous choroiditis was treated for seven years with numerous therapies including systemic steroids, immunosuppressive agents, and repeated dexamethasone intravitreal implants. The patient was intolerant of systemic therapies and would flare if dexamethasone injections were performed less frequently than every 8 weeks, making a viable long-term treatment plan problematic. Following one injection of the fluocinolone acetonide 0.18 mg intravitreal implant, she has experienced sustained control for 20 months. <i>Discussion and Conclusions</i>. Real-world treatment of SC is complex as long-term control is necessary, and associated side effects of the therapies provided may limit sustained use. The fluocinolone acetonide implant lasts 36 months and may be an alternative long-term management option, especially in the setting of systemic medication intolerance for some patients with SC.</p>","PeriodicalId":9603,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9794418/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10453736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
