[Toxic anterior segment syndrome].

The authors present two cases of TASS which occurred consequent upon anterior chamber administration of cefuroxime(Axetin). The ESCRS guidelines on prevention, investigation and management of postoperative endophthalmitis recommends intracameral injection of an antibiotic agent (cephalosporin) at the conclusion of surgery. In our group of patients TASS occurred. Elements of diagnosis and treatment in TASS are discussed. As a conclusion to our study we decided to discontinue cefuroxime administration.
