Abstract Background: Paclitaxel is an anticancer drug and reportedly may cause cystoid macular edema(CME).

Purpose: To report a case of breast carcinoma who developed CME following systemic paclitaxel treatment.

Case: A 44-year-old female presented with impaired vision in both eyes since 1 month before. She had received surgery for breast cancer 4 years before. She had developed metastasis to the bone and liver. Systemic paclitaxel therapy was started 4 months before.

Findings: Best-corrected visual acuity was 0.6 right and 0.5 left. Optical coherence tomography showed CME in both eyes. Visual acuity improved to 0.9 in either eye 6 weeks after discontinuation of paclitaxel followed by disappearance of CME. She started receiving subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide and peroral acetazolamide. Visual acuity improved to 1.2 in either eye 9 months later.

Conclusion: CME developed following paxlitaxel therapy and disappeared after its discontinuation.
