PURPOSE: This study reports the outcomes of the 0.18-mg intravitreal fluocinolone acetonide implant in the treatment of pediatric noninfectious uveitis.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients under 18 years old who received fluocinolone acetonide implant between June 1, 2020 and March 1, 2023. Data collected included demographics, uveitis diagnosis, use of anti-inflammatory therapy, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and grading of uveitis activity. Uveitis recurrence was defined as increased inflammation that required additional anti-inflammatory therapy.
RESULTS: Eleven eyes from seven patients were included in this study. One patient (one eye) had a diagnosis of immune recovery uveitis and the remaining six patients (10 eyes) had pars planitis. The rate of remaining recurrence-free was 82% at 6 months, 60% at 12 months, and 60% at 24 months. Two of the six phakic eyes at baseline required cataract extraction during follow-up. Two of the four eyes that did not have intraocular pressure-lowering surgery before implantation required surgery in follow-up.
CONCLUSION: The 0.18-mg fluocinolone acetonide implant has a similar efficacy for the treatment of pediatric uveitis, particularly pars planitis, as in the adult population, although with higher rates of ocular hypertension requiring intervention.
