Abstract
Purpose:
We describe the outcome of a 23-year-old man undergoing vitreoretinal surgery for a macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment secondary to a giant retinal tear.
Methods:
Patient underwent combined 25- gauge 3-port pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckle, perfluorocarbon liquid, and perfluoropropane gas tamponade. During surgery, triamcinolone inadvertently entered the subretinal space and was retained.
Results:
The subretinal triamcinolone deposits spontaneously absorbed over a 2-month period. No adverse sequelae were associated with this complication.
Conclusion:
This may support avoiding aggressive mechanical removal of iatrogenic subretinal triamcinolone in the context of retinal detachment repair.
