Purpose To describe anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) observed in a child treated with selective intra‐arterial chemotherapy (SIAC) for relapse in unilateral retinoblastoma. Methods Charts and retcam images of patient were reviewed, and procedures data were collected. The ophthalmoscopic features at diagnosis suggested for a malignant transformation of a retinoma/retinocytoma. Fluorangiographic and MRI findings were evaluated. Results AION spontaneously resolved within 4 weeks. Conclusion AION could be a possible transient side effect of repeated intra‐arterial chemotherapy.
