Abstract
PURPOSE To report a case of Cogan-Like Syndrome following treatment with nivolumab for metastatic cutaneous melanoma. METHODS A case report. RESULTS A 54-year-old female sought a second opinion from us regarding the recently diagnosed uveitis in both eyes. She had a diagnosis of metastatic cutaneous melanoma in the right arm and was undergoing treatment with nivolumab. Four weeks following the initiation of nivolumab therapy, she experienced tinnitus and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, which was treated with oral and intratympanic steroids. While tapering the oral steroids, she developed iridocyclitis with papillitis in both eyes. This combination of vestibuloauditory symptoms and ocular inflammation was strikingly reminiscent of Cogan's syndrome. Because of the timing in relation to the nivolumab therapy and the steroid responsiveness of her presentation, this was speculated to be due to immune overactivation from the nivolumab. Given her complex condition, which involved toxicity and multiple metastases, the patient was advised to consider either topical and/or local corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulin. The patient chose to persist with corticosteroid therapy. CONCLUSION Nivolumab could potentially be linked to an immune-related condition resembling Cogan syndrome. In cases involving patients with a complex condition necessitating nivolumab treatment, the use of topical and/or local corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulin, might constitute the sole viable treatment options.

[PMID: 35160111 PMCID: PMC8836545 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11030661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The main objective of this study was to use citation networks to analyze the relationship between different publications on the impact of cytokines at an ocular level and their authors. Furthermore, the different research areas will be identified, and the most cited publications determined. Methods: A search was performed in the Web of Science (WoS) database using the following keywords: “cytokine”, “inflammatory”, and “eye disease” for the period from 1990 to October 2021. The Citation Network Explorer and the CiteSpace software were then used to analyze the different publications. Results: 3127 publications with 8955 citations generated on the web were found. The largest number of publications on this topic emerged in 2018 and the authors with the largest number of publications addressing this area of research were Peizeng Yang (1.4%), Aize Kijlstra (1.3%), and Stephen C. Pflugfelder (1.2%). Conclusions: the citation network has provided a comprehensive and objective analysis of the main studies on the influence of cytokines in ocular inflammatory diseases.
