    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Surgery
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Intraocular injections of corticosteroids are used for various ocular inflammatory conditions.
    • Accidental intraocular injection of depot methylprednisolone acetate (Depomedrone) is a rare but serious complication.
    • Prompt management is crucial to minimize potential vision loss.

    Observation:

    • A case of inadvertent intraocular Depomedrone injection occurred.
    • The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy for management.
    • Review of prior reported cases was conducted.

    Findings:

    • Vitrectomy was successfully performed to manage the inadvertent intraocular Depomedrone injection.
    • The procedure aimed to remove the corticosteroid depot and mitigate inflammatory response.
    • Analysis of previous cases informs current management strategies.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of meticulous injection technique to prevent accidental intraocular corticosteroid administration.
    • Vitrectomy represents a viable surgical option for managing this complication.
    • Further research into optimal management protocols for inadvertent intraocular steroid injections is warranted.
