Histologic Evidence of Orbital Inflammation from Retrobulbar Alcohol and Chlorpromazine Injection: A Clinicopathologic Study in Human Rat Orbits

摘要

PurposeRetrobulbar injections of alcohol and chlorpromazine are used for the treatment of blind, painful eyes. There have been reports of inflammation after retrobulbar injections of these agents, but the histologic effects are not well characterized. A clinical case with histopathologic confirmation of inflammation after retrobulbar alcohol injection led the authors to develop a rat model to examine these effects.
