Abstract

Purpose: This paper reports a case of an older white woman presenting with recalcitrant bilateral vitreoretinal inflammation that was ultimately proven to be primary vitreoretinal lymphoma by vitreous biopsy who subsequently developed a branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) following an intravitreal injection of methotrexate. Methods: Case summary. Results: The patient was treated with serial intravitreal methotrexate injections and subsequently developed a BRAO immediately following her seventh injection. Conclusions: A full systemic evaluation to rule out other causes of the BRAO was negative and given the timing of her symptoms after the injection it was determined that the BRAO was most likely realted to the intravitreal methotrexate injection.
