Abstract Purpose:To report a case of ocular perforation following sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide(STTA).

Case and Clinical Course:A 48-year-old male presented ocular pain and visual loss in the left eye after STTA for uveitis. STTA of 20mg TA was performed with a 27-gauge sharp needle. The best corrected visual acuity was n.d./10 cm, intraocular pressure(IOP)was 5 mmHg, and axial length was 27.78 mm. The left eye had corneal epithelial edema, increased IOP, subconjunctival hemorrhage in the upper sector of bulbar conjunctiva. TA in the vitreous cavity was observed by B-scan ultrasonogram. A diagnosis of ocular perforation was made, and vitrectomy was performed. Aggregated TA, perforation of upper sclera, vitreous hemorrhage, and hemorrhagic retinal detachment were observed intraoperatively. Intraocular photocoagulation and 20% SF6 gas tamponade were performed. Two weeks later, the best corrected visual acuity was 1.0, and the IOP was 11 mmHg. The retina was reattached.

Conclusion:Complications of sub-tenon injection are rare, but the long axial length and use of sharp needle are risk factors for ocular perforation. Immediate vitrectomy for ocular perforation following STTA was effective in the present case.
