Résumé
Post-operative endophthalmitis is a vision threatening complication following intraocular surgery requiring prompt treatment. Clinical picture mimicking infectious endophthalmitis can rarely be produced following intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection. A 65-year-old male with previous history of pars plana vitrectomy and lens removal was diagnosed with post-operative cystoid macular edema in his right eye. He received intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection in his right eye. Two days following the injection he complained of further reduction in vision and presented with a clinical picture resembling infectious endophthalmitis. Nil active intervention was done. There was significant improvement in vision one week following the injection. Ophthalmologists should be aware of this clinical scenario so that excessive and unwarranted treatment can be avoided.
