ABSTRACT

AIM:

To report a case of significant postoperative cystoid macular edema (CME) in a patient with no prior history of uveitis or systemic inflammatory disease, in which a suprachoroidal (SC) triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension resulted in complete resolution of CME.

DESIGN:

Case report.

METHODS:

An 81-year-old man presented with a complex, dense brunescent cataract, floppy iris, and miotic pupil in the left eye. Six weeks following cataract extraction, the intraocular lens (IOL) was dislocated completely from the visual axis. He underwent a pars plana vitrectomy and IOL exchange with an anterior chamber IOL due to a three-piece IOL dislocation. Following the operation, the patient began treatment with prednisolone acetate and ketorolac. However, 2 weeks later, he was noted to be a steroid responder and glaucoma suspect. Therefore, the decision was made to taper and discontinue topical steroids. At 6 months postoperatively, ranibizumab was injected for persistent CME. However, following injection, there was intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and increased CME. IOP improved 1 month later with dorzolamide hydrochloride and timolol maleate. At 8 months post-operation, there was persistent CME. The patient was then treated with an SC triamcinolone acetonide injection. There was complete resolution of CME by 14 weeks later, with improvement in visual acuity. Despite the patient's known steroid response with topical steroids, IOP remained within normal limits during the entire follow-up period after injection.

CONCLUSION:

SC triamcinolone acetonide injection is indicated for macular edema associated with uveitis; however, treatment for postoperative macular edema with this novel suprachoroidal injection may be considered.
