Pars plana-Vitrektomie nach akzidenteller Injektion von Depot-Steroiden in den Glaskörperraum

The authors describe a case of accidental intraocular injection of depot steroids after treatment of a chalazion by an intralesional corticosteroid injection. The eye was treated by pars plana vitrectomy. Visual acuity improved postoperatively, ultimately attaining 1/16. As late complications, pathologic changes of the macula were observed, with macular pucker and optic nerve atrophy.
