Displacement of crystalline lens into the sub-conjunctival space following periocular anesthesia

Inadvertent steroid injection into the crystalline lens

Intravitreal triamcinolone is administered for a wide number of vitreoretinal conditions. Several complications including cataract formation, raised intraocular pressure, and endophthalmitis have been reported following intravitreal injections. We report a rare case wherein triamcinolone was inadvertently injected directly into the crystalline lens. A 41-year-old male presented to us with a his...

Diffusion of sodium in extracellular space of the crystalline lens.

PATERSON, CHRISTOPHER A., AND DAVID M. MAURICE. Di$usion of sodium in extracellular space of the crystalline lens. Am. J. Physiol. 220( 1) : 256-263. 197 1 .-The diffusion coefficients of radioactive ions were measured in bovine lens cortex, which is composed of closely packed long hexagonal cells. Diffusion could therefore be measured a) along the length of the cells, b) at right angles to the...

Blood Glucose Levels in Diabetic Patients Following Corticosteroid Injections into the Subacromial Space of the Shoulder

Background: Corticosteroid injections are used to treat a variety of orthopedic conditions with the goal of decreasingpain and inflammation. Administration of systemic or local corticosteroids risks temporarily increasing blood glucoselevels, especially diabetic patients. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effects of corticosteroid injections onblood glucose levels in diabetic patient...

Periocular migration of an intraocular lens.

A woman presented with a painful eye 6 weeks after cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. In the past she had had a sector iridectomy for iris bombé caused by chronic anterior uveitis. On examination the three central corneal sutures were absent, whilst the medial and lateral sutures had broken and were protruding from the section. The eye was quiet and the section intact. Combi...
