Neurotrophic corneal ulcer after retrobulbar injection of chlorpromazine.
An 80-year-old woman with a painful, poorly seeing right eye underwent retrobulbar chlorpromazine injection for pain control. After the injection, the patient's symptoms improved; however, a neurotrophic ulcer developed within 2 weeks after the procedure. It is postulated that chlorpromazine may lead to sensory denervation to the cornea with the subsequent development of neurotrophic keratopathy, as observed in this case. Awareness of this potential adverse effect is important for proper patient safety, education, and postinjection management.
