RESUMEN
CASO CLÍNICO Paciente de 4 años de edad, que como consecuencia de una inyección de triamcinolona subtenoniana en la región de la tróclea del ojo derecho al finalizar una cirugía para el síndrome de Brown presenta un hematoma orbitario inmediato que al cabo de una semana, cuando se pudo explorar mejor, puso en evidencia la presencia de una mancha rojo-cereza secundaria a la embolización de la arteria central de la retina por cristales de triamcinolona.

DISCUSIÓN:

La triamcinolona es un antiinflamatorio de uso corriente en oftalmología para el tratamiento de afecciones variadas. Aunque excepcional, se ha descrito que su utilización puede provocar embolizaciones por entrada del esteroide en la circulación
