Intravitreal triamcinolone in retinal vasculitis: case report

The authors present a case of a patient with the diagnosis of primary retinal vasculitis treated with intravitreal injection of triamcinolone, which determined improvement of inflammation and visual acuity. An improvement of iris and optic nerve head neovascularization was also observed, however, a macular traction developed after the injection, which determined a decrease in visual acuity. The authors also discuss the effects of triamcinolone on inflammation as well as the side effects observed in this patient.
