Abstract Purpose:To report two cases who received invitreal injection of methotrexate(IVMTX)for cystoid macular edema(CME).

Cases and Clinical Course:One was a 55-year-old male who presented with uveitis associated with sarcoidosis. Subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide was ineffective for CME because of epiretinal membrane formation and subsequent steroid-induced glaucoma in the left eye. CME failed to improve after IVMTX. There was no exacerbation in the aqueous flare. The other was a 61-year-old female who present with uveitis of unknown etiology simulating ocular sarcoidosis. Oral corticosteroid was not effective for the left eye and led to steroid-induced glaucoma. The central foveal thickness decreased from 626 μm to 479 μm 2 months after IVMTX. CME did not resolve completely, necessitating another 3 sessions of IVMTX. There was no exacerbation in aqueous flare or complications due to IVMTX.

Conclusion:IVMTX may be beneficial for some cases of CME secondary to uveitis.
