Raised intraocular pressure and orbital inflammation: a rare IgE-mediated allergic reaction to sub-Tenon's hyaluronidase.

摘要

In clinical practice, an allergic response to hyaluronidase is a rare event. We report a case of orbital inflammation and increased intraocular pressure (IOP) following a rare IgE-mediated allergic reaction (protein-contact dermatitis) to hyaluronidase used during sub-Tenon's anesthesia.
