title: [Effects of analysis of posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone: a case series].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effects of posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide in patients with intraocular inflammation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case series enrolling 24 patients (26 eyes) submitted to posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide for intraocular inflammation treatment. Maleate timolol at 0.5% was prescribed for all patients for 30 days.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Improvement of visual acuity was observed in 81% of the patients after a single injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Increase in the intraocular pression was not observed in the treated eyes.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide proved to be a safe and effective way of treating intraocular inflammations.
