Successful management of exudative retinal detachment in retinopathy of prematurity with sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide ınjection following laser photocoagulation: A case report

Abstract

In this case report, we describe the successful treatment of exudative retinal detachment after laser photocoagulation with sub-Tenon’s injection of triamcinolone acetonide in a premature infant with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). A preterm infant born at 25 weeks gestation and of weight 860 g was diagnosed with zone 2 stage 3 ROP with plus disease. Laser photocoagulation was performed to treat the active disease. After laser treatment, the infant developed exudative retinal detachment. To address the exudative retinal detachment, a sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide injection was administered. The procedure was well tolerated, and the patient showed rapid improvement in both clinical and imaging findings.
