Exudative Retinal Detachment Following Intravitreal Chemotherapeutic Treatment for Retinoblastoma
Abstract:
A 35-month-old boy was diagnosed with retinoblastoma and underwent combination intra-arterial (IAC) and intravitreal chemotherapy. His course was complicated by anaphylactic reaction to IAC, yet he continued to improve with sustained intravitreal therapy. Eight months into treatment, the affected eye developed exudative retinal detachment, which resolved with sub-Tenon's steroid administration. As the management of retinoblastoma evolves, treaters need to be aware of potential complications of therapy. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2019;50:248-252.].

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
