Purpose: Faricimab, a novel pharmaceutical agent targeting both angiopoietin-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor-A pathways, has gained approval for treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular oedema. While clinical trials have demonstrated its favorable safety profile, this research presents two cases of hypertensive uveitis following intravitreal Faricimab injections.
Methods: Medical history, clinical findings and multimodal images were retrospectively collected.
Results: The patients experienced elevated intraocular pressure, mutton-fat keratic precipitates, anterior and posterior segment inflammation shortly after faricimab administration.
Conclusions: These cases prompt further investigation into the potential risk of uveitis associated with faricimab and underscore the importance of continued monitoring and research to elucidate its real-world safety profile.
