This case was conducted to report the effectiveness and security of a manually made needle to inject triamcinolone acetonide in the suprachoroidal space (SCS) in a 52-year-old female with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) in the challenging socio-economical situations in Syria. This case report is an interventional case of a 52-year-old female presented with a four-week history of reduced vision secondary to Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME). The patient attended Marashi Eye Clinic Center for a clinical examination and followed up with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at baseline. The patient was treated by one injection of triamcinolone acetonide and followed up within one week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 24 weeks in the suprachoroidal space (SCS) using a manually made needle with assessing the efficacy and potential ocular complications. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) had improved significantly from baseline 20/60 to 20/30 at 24 weeks with a complete anatomical resolution of macular edema at 24 weeks from baseline. No ocular complications were noticed during the study period. Injecting triamcinolone acetonide in suprachoroidal space (SCS) using a manually made needle plays an essential role in treating Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) without compromising security and efficiency. © 2022 The Authors.
