Article Synopsis
- A 60-year-old male patient with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) experienced bilateral vision loss during an attack, despite treatment with intravenous C1-esterase inhibitor initially resolving swelling but not the vision issue.
- Imaging revealed bilateral edema of the optic nerve sheath, and treatment with steroids was ineffective.
- After starting a prophylactic regimen of subcutaneous C1-esterase inhibitor, the patient's visual acuity fully restored within two months, demonstrating that such patients can benefit from consistent prophylactic treatment.
