Abstract
To report a case of lower eyelid herniation of orbital fat occurring after periocular corticosteroid injection. Interventional case report. A 44-year-old man with asymmetrical pars planitis complicated by right cystoid macular edema was treated with multiple right orbital floor injections of triamcinolone through the lower eyelid. Right lower eyelid orbital fat herniation occurred during the course of the treatment. A herniation of orbital fat may complicate the injection of corticosteroid through the lower eyelid.
