Abstract: Sub-Tenon’s injection of triamcinolone was performed in the right eye of a patient with bilateral Purtscher’s-like retinopathy after childbirth. The response of macular edema to local triamcinolone was investigated with optical coherence tomography. Five weeks following the injection, optical coherence tomography improvement was seen following unilateral sub-Tenon’s triamcinolone injection.
Keywords: Purtscher’s-like retinopathy; triamcinolone; post-partum decreased vision
