Abstract
- Novel treatment strategies such as targeted therapy with mitogen-activated protein-kinase-kinase/B-Raf proto-oncogene (MEK/BRAF) inhibitors have prolonged patient survival in metastatic melanoma and are used in oncology. The combination of binimetinib og encorafenib can induce extensive bilateral neuroretinal detachments. In this case report, we present a 72-year-old female patient with this condition. Dilated fundus examination and optical coherence tomography are essential in diagnosis and monitoring of patients treated with MEK/BRAF-inhibitors. No persistent visual deficits were documented in the patient, as this condition appears to be fully reversible.
