Nivolumab may have impaired the pumping and phagocytosis functions of retinal pigment epithelial cells, resulting in bilateral serous retinal detachments and thickening of the photoreceptor outer segment. This is the first case report, to our knowledge, describing multiple bilateral serous retinal detachments and outer segment thickening without inflammation in a patient treated with nivolumab.
