Purpose: A clinical case is presented of posterior uveitis inapatientwhoreceivedasubconjunctivalinjectionofKenalog. This finding was revealed during the course of adailyassessmentofconjunctivalmicrovascularhemodynamics.Methods:Slitlampbiomicroscopyoftheconjunctivalmicrovasculaturewasperformedbeforeandaftertheemergenceofintermediateuveitisina28-year-oldman.Result: A case of acute vision loss and the occurrence ofintermediate uveitis of the right eye is described in a patientwhopreviouslyreceivedKenalogadministeredsubconjunctivally to treat mild anterior uveitis, which waswithoutvisualimpairment.Dailymonitoringoftheconjunctival microvasculature revealed that the blood flowrate of the right eye considerably increased after Kenalogadministrationthedaybeforepatientvisiondeterioratedand posterioruveitiswithopacityofthevitreousbodyoccurred.The extent of the pronounced intensification ofblood flow wassurprising.Conclusion:The emergence ofacute intermediate uveitisfollowing Kenalog administration was preceded by a severeincrease in bloodcirculation in theconjunctivalvesselsofthe eye, which decreased one day after a severe decrease invisualacuity. It is suggested that this increase in blood flowprecedingpathologymaybeacharacteristicofanyinflammatoryprocessthatoccursinthehumanbody
