Abstract
To report conjunctival ulceration as a complication of periocular triamcinolone acetonide injection. Interventional case series. Conjunctival ulceration was found in three patients who had anterior subtenon's or subconjunctival deposition of triamcinolone. Cultures from the ulcer edges were negative. Most of the triamcinolone extruded, and the conjunctival ulcers healed with minimal scarring. Conjunctival ulceration was a potential complication of periocular triamcinolone injection in three patients who had anterior subtenon's or subconjunctival deposition of the corticosteroid.
