This report describes an unusual reaction to injected subconjunctival corticosteroid. The authors examined a patient with large areas of conjunctival necrosis at the site of a previous subconjunctival corticosteroid injection. A Gram's strain and culture of the affected conjunctival area and the bottled corticosteroid suspension were negative. Necrosis of the conjunctiva is a heretofore unreported adverse reaction to a subconjunctival corticosteroid injection. These lesions probably represent a localized toxic reaction rather than a sequela of infection.
