Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of presumed sterile endophthalmitis after intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. Methods: Observational case report. Review of clinical examination, ocular imaging, and published literature. Results: A 67-year-old woman with early cataracts presented with decreased vision in the left eye related to vitreomacular adhesion. She was treated with intravitreal ocriplasmin injection and developed a severe anterior chamber inflammatory reaction in less than 24 hours after the injection. Inflammation responded completely to topical steroids alone, without topical or intravitreal antibiotics. Conclusion: Patients treated with intravitreal ocriplasmin may develop an acute inflammatory reaction, which can be severe.
