摘要
We describe the use of intravitreal triamcinolone in the treatment of macular edema associated with systematic lupus erythematosus providing short-term resolution of cystoid macular edema and increase in visual acuity. No side effects from the injection have been seen as yet. We suggest this treatment to be considered in Patients for whom laser treatment may be inappropriate or not feasible, or even as an alternative/safer option for all patients.
