Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment secondary to isolated retinal metastasis from small cell lung carcinoma: An uncommon complication

Abstract

Purpose:

To report a case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with isolated retinal metastasis from lung carcinoma.

Methods:

Multimodal imaging, including wide-field retinal imaging, ultrasonic imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging.

Results:

Systemic chemotherapy and cranial prophylactic radiotherapy resulted in shrinkage of these lesions and retinal breaks making them much smaller and preventing progression of retinal detachment transiently.

Conclusion:

This is the first reported case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment secondary to retinal metastasis from a lung cancer.
