SANCHEZ-RAMOS, Jorge A. et al. Inadvertent subretinal injection of botulinum toxin. Rev. mex. oftalmol [online]. 2019, vol.93, n.3, pp.153-156. Epub 06-Jul-2021. ISSN 2604-1227. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mexoft.2017.05.004.
Case Report:
This is a 19-year-old male with bilateral external rectus muscle palsy secundary to trauma. During treatment, an inadvertent intraocular injection of botulinum toxin was present, causing a retinal tear and localized retinal detachment. Both lesions were delimited with laser observing a spontaneous resolution of the detachment without presenting visual impairment during the follow-up.
Discussion:
Although intraocular botulinum toxin does not generate retinal toxicity, inadvertent intraocular injection should be closely monitored to avoid complications secondary to perforation.
