Cystoid Macular Edema Secondary to Paclitaxel Therapy
Journal Title: Latin American Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
We present a 57-year-old referred reduced visual acuity who was in treatment with paclitaxel for developing metastatic breast adenocarcinoma. Ophthalmoscopic examination, optical coherence tomography, and autofluorescence show the cystoid macular edema, but fluorescein angiography is normal, without leakage of dye in the late times. The patient responds well 8 weeks after stopping antineoplastic. Paclitaxel can cause cystoid macular edema and lifting a recovery both anatomical and functional of the macula.
