Abstract

We report a case of retinal vein occlusion in a 54-year-old woman following treatment with topical imiquimod for a superficial basal cell carcinoma of the temple. Signs and symptoms resolved rapidly upon ceasing treatment. Although they are uncommon, it is important to recognise and promptly manage ophthalmic complications related to treatment with imiquimod in order to prevent serious sequelae such as macular oedema and neovascularization.
