    PURPOSE: To describe 3 cases of children submitted to posterior subtenon steroid injection (PSSI) of triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog® 40mg) for the treatment of intermediate uveitis, with development of refractory glaucoma. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: Three children with the diagnosis of intermediate uveitis were treated with PSSI of triamcinolone for the control of a chronic vitreous inflammation and/or cystoid macular edema. After treatment they developed refractory glaucoma and were submitted to surgery, for removal of the steroid deposit and/or filtering surgery to control the intraocular pressure (IOP). CONCLUSION: The use of PSSI can represent a high risk for development of secondary glaucoma, with difficult control in children. Surgery to remove the remaining steroid may control IOP, but in some cases filtering surgery may be necessary.

    Intermediate uveitis complicated by choroidal granuloma following subretinal neovascular membrane: case reports
    (Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2008-12-01) Garcia, Carlos Alexandre de Amorim; Segundo, Paulo de Souza; Garcia Filho, Carlos Alexandre de Amorim [UNIFESP]; Garcia, Ana Cláudia Medeiros de Amorim; Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte Ophthalmology Department; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte
    Choroidal neovascularization is a very rare complication in intermediate uveitis. A 27-year-old female patient diagnosed with intermediate uveitis two years ago. She presented with 20/200 visual acuity, snowballs, snowbanks, and macular cystoid edema in the right eye observed by fluorescein and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Photocoagulation was performed in the inferior peripheral retina in both eyes. The patient refused to undergo the prescribed clinical treatment. She returned twelve months later presenting with count fingers visual acuity, dry retina and subretinal macular pigmented granuloma observed on OCT. A 15-year-old female patient with decreased visual acuity of 20/400 in the right eye for eight days. She presented with bilateral vasculitis and papilitis, in the right eye, hemorrhage and extramacular subretinal neovascular membrane were observed on fluorescein and OCT. She was treated with 40 mg prednisone and intravitreous injection of 1.25 mg bevacizumab. Five months later she presented with 20/50 visual acuity, and extramacular granuloma observed on OCT. The formation of subretinal granuloma in intermediate uveitis is a possibility when complicated by subretinal neovascular membrane.
