Abstract
PURPOSE
To report cases of the surgical removal of sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide to control increased intraocular pressure after sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide injection. CASE SUMMARY: Three patients had no response to maximal medical treatment to control suddenly increased intraocular pressure after sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide (40 mg) injection to treat diabetic macular edema. The anterior chamber angle was open in all patients, and there was no neovascularization in the iris or anterior chamber angle. Slit lamp biomicroscopy showed deposition of triamcinolone acetonide in the inferior sub-Tenon area. Intraocular pressure was decreased within the normal range without any medication after removal of triamcinolone acetonide precipitates. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical removal of sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide can be as a primary treatment option in cases of increased intraocular pressure which shows no response to maximal medical treatment after sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide injection.
