Rapidly Changing Serous Detachment During BRAF and MEK Inhibitor Therapy.

We report a case of rapidly changing serous retinal detachment (SRD) during melanoma therapy with a combination of encorafenib, a serine/threonine-protein kinase B-Raf (BRAF) inhibitor, and binimetinib, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor. A 50-year-old woman with metastatic melanoma presented with a sudden visual blur. She had been treated with encorafenib (450 mg every morning) and binimetinib (45 mg every 12 hours) after surgery for four months. Ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral SRD, but it was completely resolved after two hours. Visual acuity was normal in each eye. Encorafenib and binimetinib were continued. Shallow SRD appeared again five months later, but it resolved in two months. MEKAR typically occurs shortly after the start of an administration, and its development after several months was very little known. Continued examination for ophthalmic events should be considered.
