title: Management of anterior chamber dislocation of dexamethasone implant.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report dislocation of dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®) into the anterior chamber and to discuss intervention options.
  
  
  METHODS
  Interventional case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  An 89-year-old woman presented after Ozurdex® implant injection for chronic cystoid macular edema secondary to idiopathic intermediate uveitis. The dexamethasone implant dislocated into the anterior chamber. Pharmacologic dilation was administered and the patient was placed in a reclined supine position.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Successful repositioning of the implant into the vitreous cavity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although it is a rare complication, anterior dislocation of a dexamethasone implant may have serious consequences. Early recognition and appropriate management is advisable.
