  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We treated 5 eyes of 4 patients of ocular sarcoidosis by peroral methotrexate at the dosis of 7.5 mg once aweek for 6 months or longer. All the cases had cystoid macular edema (CME) and/or retinal neovascularization resistantto corticosteroids. After treatment, the visual acuity improved in 2 eyes and slightly decreased in 3 eyes. CME and retinal vasculitis improved in 2 of 5 eyes. Retinal neovascularization improved in 3 of 3 eyes. Systemic corticosteroid could bediscontinued or reduced in dosage in all the cases. Gastric irritation and interstitial pneumonia developed in one case each. The findings show that peroral methotrexate may be effective for severe ocular sarcoidosis with CME and/or retinalneovascularization. Further studies are necessary to determine the indication and dosage.
