To report macular ischemia after an intravitreal injection of amikacin
A case report regarding a traumatized eye of a 26-year-old man that was injected intravitreally with amikacin due to intraocular foreign body endophthalmitis
Angiography and OCT show macular ischemia due to amikacin toxicity.
The case reported here is to alert about the potential harmful effect of intravitreally injected amikacin despite its role as an accepted regimen for endohthalmitis cases. |
