ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of macular hole progression after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) for chronic macular edema secondary to nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).METHODS:
A 33-year-old woman with massive macular edema after CRVO underwent IVTA. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography were performed before and after the procedure.RESULTS:
At the 1-week IVTA injection control, the patient's best-corrected visual acuity improved from 20/400 to 20/200 and OCT detected a progression of macular hole stage.CONCLUSIONS:
IVTA steroid injection may provide a significant improvement in macular edema, but injection-related complications may occur such as this uncommon macular reaction resulting in permanent visual loss.
