Abstract. Purpose:To report a successfully treated case of elevated intraocular pressure(IOP)after subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide for scleritis. Case:A 34-year-old male was treated by topical and systemic prednisolone for scleritis in both eyes. He received subtenon injection of 12mg triamcinolone in each eye 7 months later. He was referred to us after IOP started to rise to 37mmHg right and 45mmHg left. Clinical Course:Both eyes showed elevated IOP resistant to conventional treatments for 4 months. He received removal of white subconjunctival mass of triamcinolone in the left eye. IOP nomalized 3 weeks later. A similar treatment induced normalization of IOP in the right eye. Both eyes showed normal IOP values for 2 years until present with topical hypotensive drugs only. Conclusion:Removal of triamcinolone may induce normalization of elevated IOP after its subtenon injection.
