Department of Ophthalmology, Tokyo Women's Medical University School of Medicine, Tokyo, and Saiseikai Kurihashi Hospital, Saitama, Japan.
Background And Purpose: Angioedema is a well-recognized side effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, but is rarely associated with angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB). Here, we report the first case of a patient on ARB therapy (telmisartan) for hypertension who developed serous choroidal detachment localized to the posterior pole after sub-Tenon anesthesia for small incision cataract surgery.
Methods And Results: An 82-year-old Japanese woman who received oral medications for hypertension underwent cataract surgery with sub-Tenon anesthesia using 2% Xylocaine(®) on her left eye.
