PURPOSE: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of intravitreal brolucizumab in eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy complicated by pachychoroid neovasculopathy.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 34 eyes treated with intravitreal brolucizumab. Twenty-five eyes (73.5%) had been treated with other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents before switching to brolucizumab, whereas nine eyes were naïve. Outcome measures included the change of central foveal thickness and subfoveal choroidal thickness, evaluation of sub/intraretinal fluid on optical coherence tomography, and change in best-corrected visual acuity.
RESULTS: Before starting brolucizumab, 23 eyes showed subretinal fluid, 8 both subretinal and intraretinal fluid, and 3 intraretinal fluid only. At the last visit, 22 eyes (64.7%) showed complete reabsorption of both intraretinal and subretinal fluid, whereas subretinal fluid was still present in 8 eyes (23.5%), and both intraretinal and subretinal fluid in 4 eyes (11.8%). The mean number of brolucizumab injections required to achieve complete fluid reabsorption was 2.8 ± 1.8. central foveal thickness decreased from 317.8 ± 109.3 µm to 239.8 ± 74.8 µm (P = 0.0005) and subfoveal choroidal thickness decreased from 399.3 ± 86.2 µm to 355.5 ± 92.7 µm at the end of the follow-up period (P = 0.0008). The mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.4 ± 0.2 to 0.3 ± 0.2 at 1 month after the first injection and remained stable at the same values at the end of the follow-up period (P = 0.04).
CONCLUSIONS: Intravitreal brolucizumab is effective for the treatment of naïve and recalcitrant pachychoroid neovasculopathy.
TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: Intravitreal brolucizumab may represent an option in patients with pachychoroid neovasculopathy complicating chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.
