Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) has become the mainstay therapy for retinoblastoma group D and E for the past few decades. However, IAC had never been done in Indonesia before. In this report, we present a case of a 2-year-old girl with recurrent Group D retinoblastoma of the left eye that improved significantly after one session of IAC, the first IAC in Indonesia.
