| dc.description.abstract | Purpose: We present a rare case of acute visual acuity loss following intravitreal ganciclovir injection for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. Case summary: A 35-year-old woman receiving immunosuppressive therapy for systemic lupus erythematosus developed CMV retinitis in the left eye. Oral valganciclovir was initiated but discontinued due to cytopenia and treatment was switched to intravitreal ganciclovir injections (2 mg/0.04 mL). One year later, CMV retinitis developed in the right eye and the same regimen was initiated. Although receiving bilateral injections at two-week intervals, the patient experienced a sudden decrease in visual acuity in the right eye one day after injection, 10 months after treatment initiation. Optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography revealed inner retinal edema and focal macular leakage. Treatment was switched to intravenous foscarnet resulting in resolution of macular edema; however, central retinal thinning persisted. Owing to recurrent retinitis, intravitreal ganciclovir injections are currently being continued at a reduced dose (1 mg/0.02 mL). Conclusions: Acute visual acuity loss may rarely occur following intravitreal ganciclovir injection in patients with CMV retinitis. Careful consideration of potential mechanical injury and drug-induced retinal toxicity is needed during treatment. | - |
| dc.description.abstract | 목적: 거대세포바이러스 망막염 치료를 위해 유리체강 내 간시클로버 주사 후 급성 시력 저하가 발생한 희귀 사례를 보고하고자 한다. 증례보고: 35세 여성은 전신성 홍반성 루푸스로 면역억제 치료 중 좌안에 거대세포바이러스 망막염이 발생하였고, 경구 발간시클로버 (valganciclovir)로 시작했으나 혈구감소증으로 유리체강 내 간시클로버(ganciclovir) 주사(2 mg/0.04 mL)로 변경하였다. 1년 후 우안 도 침범되어 동일한 치료를 시작했고, 양안에 2주 간격으로 주사 치료를 지속하던 중, 우안 치료 10개월째 주사 직후 급격한 시력 저하가 발생하였다. 빛간섭단층촬영 및 형광안저촬영에서 황반부 망막내층 부종과 국소 누출이 관찰되었으며, 이후 정맥 내 포스카넷 (foscarnet)으로 치료를 전환하였다. 황반부종은 호전되었으나 중심부 망막 위축이 잔존하였고, 이후 망막염이 재발하여 현재는 감량 된 용량(1 mg/0.02 mL)의 유리체강 내 간시클로버 주사로 치료를 유지하고 있다. 결론: 거대세포바이러스 망막염 환자에서 유리체강 내 간시클로버 주사 후 급성 시력 저하가 발생할 수 있으며, 기계적 손상이나 약물 독성 가능성을 고려한 주의 깊은 접근이 필요하다. <대한안과학회지 2026;67(4):131-136> | - |
