Vitrectomy significantly improves outcomes for accidental intraocular steroid injection, a complication of periocular injections. This surgical approach leads to satisfactory visual recovery and retinal attachment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Periocular injections can lead to accidental globe perforation and intraocular steroid injection.
  • Historically, outcomes for this complication were poor, but vitrectomy has improved prognosis.

Observation:

  • A retrospective analysis reviewed five cases of accidental intraocular steroid injection treated with vitrectomy.
  • Additional treatments included laser or cryopexy for retinal breaks and scleral buckling in one instance.

Findings:

  • Most patients experienced satisfactory visual acuity recovery and retinal attachment post-vitrectomy.
  • No significant postoperative complications were noted, except for one case of retinal detachment.

Implications:

  • Vitrectomy offers a successful treatment for accidental intraocular steroid injection.

  • Timely intervention, even with a few days' delay, does not appear to negatively impact the final outcome.
