The response of macular edema to local triamcinolone was investigated with optical coherence tomography. Five weeks following the injection, optical coherence tomography improvement was seen following unilateral sub-Tenon’s triamcinolone injection.Keywords: Purtscher’s-like retinopathy; triamcinolone; post-partum decreased vision
