Successful treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated inflammatory pseudotumour with rituximab: A case report

This case illustrates the limitations of cyclophosphamide-based regimens in managing steroid-dependent ANCA-associated orbital disease. RTX may be a more effective alternative in relapsing or refractory cases, particularly when ocular symptoms persist despite ANCA seronegativity. Early recognition and individualized immunosuppressive therapy are essential for preserving vision and improving outcomes in ocular ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Abstract

This case illustrates the limitations of cyclophosphamide-based regimens in managing steroid-dependent ANCA-associated orbital disease. RTX may be a more effective alternative in relapsing or refractory cases, particularly when ocular symptoms persist despite ANCA seronegativity. Early recognition and individualized immunosuppressive therapy are essential for preserving vision and improving outcomes in ocular ANCA-associated vasculitis.
