BILATERAL CHOROIDAL METASTASIS WITH CONCURRENT UNILATERAL RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT IN A PATIENT WITH STAGE IV BREAST CANCER.
Yousef Ahmed FouadMohamed NowaraPublished in: Retinal cases & brief reports (2023)
Prompt ophthalmologic evaluation is a must in patients with advanced breast or lung malignancy with recent blurring of vision. External beam radiotherapy is a safe, available, relatively cheap, and effective means for managing CM. Choroidal metastasis with a concurrent vision-threatening pathology requiring intraocular surgery represents a dilemma, and the risks and benefits should be weighed carefully with proper counseling of the patient.
