Abstract
Clinical case

A 59-year-old male, with the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma stage IV, following palliative systemic chemotherapy treatment. He was referred to our department due to bilateral blurred vision. In the eye-fundus we observed: bilateral choroidal metastases with macular involvement, and in optical coherence tomography (OCT): neurosensory detachment in both eyes. This neurosensory detachment showed improvement with chemotherapy before the clinical and radiologic improvement.

Discussion

OCT could be a great tool in order to predict the response to systemic treatment in cases of lung adenocarcinoma associated with choroidal metastases.

Keywords:
Choroidal metastases
Optical coherence tomography
Lung adenocarcinoma
Neurosensory detachment
Chemotherapy
Resumen
Caso clínico

Varón, 59 años, con adenocarcinoma pulmonar estadio iv, en tratamiento paliativo con quimioterapia sistémica. Acude a nuestro servicio por visión borrosa bilateral. En el fondo de ojo se observan metástasis coroideas bilaterales con compromiso macular, y en tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT) desprendimiento neurosensorial en ambos ojos. Este se reduce drásticamente con el tratamiento quimioterápico, anticipándose a la mejoría clínica y radiológica del paciente.

Discusión

La OCT puede ser una buena herramienta para vaticinar la respuesta al tratamiento sistémico en casos de adenocarcinoma pulmonar asociado a metástasis coroideas.

Palabras clave:
Metástasis coroideas
