Choroidal Neovascularization following Intra-Arterial Melphalan Chemotherapy for Retinoblastoma

This case represents the first description and management of a patient developing choroidal neovascularization after receiving intra-arterial melphalan treatment for retinoblastoma. Careful monitoring of patients following intra-arterial melphalan chemotherapy treatment is critical due to the potential for vision loss, including choroidal neovascularization, which may be an under-reported complication.

Abstract

This case represents the first description and management of a patient developing choroidal neovascularization after receiving intra-arterial melphalan treatment for retinoblastoma. Careful monitoring of patients following intra-arterial melphalan chemotherapy treatment is critical due to the potential for vision loss, including choroidal neovascularization, which may be an under-reported complication.
