Introduction: ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare, life-threatening disease which may result in serious pulmonary and kidney damage. Cyclophosphamide or rituximab and high-dose glucocorticoids significantly improved patient outcomes, but at the expense of severe complications. Moreover, many patients still relapse and bear a significant burden of both disease- and treatment-related complications.

Purpose: Avacopan is a novel C5a receptor inhibitor which was recently licensed for treatment of severe granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) in the European Union and the United Kingdom. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first described case on initial ophthalmic outcomes in a patient with severe GPA and concurrent refractory scleritis treated with avacopan.
Case Description: We present a case of de novo scleritis in a 77-year-old male with a background of retinitis pigmentosa with Argus II implant in situ.
