Faricimab efficacy in a poorly responsive case of Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV): A case report

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate anatomical and functional outcomes of Faricimab therapy on a case of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) refractory to previous treatments. Major findings: A 56-year-old patient with PCV presenting with a large pigment epithelial detachment (PED) showed best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improvement, subretinal fluid (SRF) reduction and PED height reduction at 2 months follow up after a loading phase of 4 monthly Faricimab injections. The patient had previously undergone Aflibercept, Brolucizumab and photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatments with a suboptimal response. Conclusion: Despite Faricimab proving itself as an efficient alternative in a case of PCV poorly responsive to previous treatments, definite evidence still needs to be confirmed in larger studies.
