Suprachoroidal triamcinolone raised dangerously low eye pressure in one uveitis case.

Purpose

This study is aimed at describing the use of suprachoroidal triamcinolone injection for the treatment of refractory uveitis-associated ocular hypotony presumed secondary to ciliary body shutdown.

Methods

We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with a 26-year history of idiopathic, noninfectious bilateral panuveitis complicated by recurrent cystoid macular edema and a steroid-induced ocular hypertension.

Results
≥ 6 mmHg
Eye pressure rose from 2-6 mmHg to at least 6 mmHg for about 2 months after injection.
More results

Best corrected visual acuity improved from 20/80 to 20/50, and additional viscoelastic injections were not required during this period.

Numerical hypotony recurred 8 months later.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

Suprachoroidal triamcinolone may represent a targeted treatment for refractory uveitis-associated hypotony when ciliary body dysfunction is suspected and other steroid delivery routes are limited.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Further study is needed to evaluate durability and broader applicability.
