Purpose:
Our case emphasizes the utility of long-acting intravitreal fluocinolone implants (YUTIQ) for managing recalcitrant forms of non-infectious posterior uveitis, NIPU.
Patient:
We present a case of bilateral NIPU refractory to topical corticosteroids and intravitreal triamcinolone and dexamethasone.
Results:
Management with bilateral YUTIQ improved local ocular inflammatory control with improved vision and anatomical outcomes.
Conclusion:
NIPU can develop into recurrent forms resistant to short-acting therapeutics. Long-acting efficacy with YUTIQ emphasizes the need to recognize such refractory NIPU cases.
