Acute Retinal Necrosis After Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide For Aphakic Macular Edema- A Case Report
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Triamcinolone acetonide is used in the form of intravitreal injection to treat ocular diseases like uveitis, vasculitis, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, macular degeneration etc. But complications have been reported after injection like elevated intraocular pressure and cataract. Even though rare, acute retinal necrosis is a risky complication after intraocular Triamcinolone acetonide injection, which may cause potential blindness. Here we report a case of acute retinal necrosis following intravitreal injection of Triamcinolone acetonide and review the relevant literature.
