Dexamethasone intravitreal implant in cystoid macular edema secondary to paclitaxel therapy.

To report the first case of cystoid macular edema (CME) induced by nabpaclitaxel treated with intravitreal dexamethasone implant.A 67 year-old man diagnosed with unresectable pancreatic cancer presented with decreased vision in both eyes while receiving nab-paclitaxel. He was diagnosed with CME and intravitreal dexamethasone implants were administered in both eyes. Central retinal thickness (CRT) of both eye decreased 1 month after the implant but CME persisted. 2 months after Ozurdex implant nabpaclitaxel was discontinued, improving central macular thickness and the CME significantly in both eyes.Cessation of nab-paclitaxel could lead to resolution of CME more than intravitreal dexamethasone implant, although intravitreal dexamethasone implant achieved some reduction in central macular thickness.
