Abstract

Sixty-nine-year-old male patient, having treatment after one month due to lung adenocancer, was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of blurred vision in the left eye. Fundoscopy examination revealed irregular macula in both eyes and metastasis in both eyes choroid in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).
In our case, it was observed that although both eye choroids had metastasized, the complaints of the eyes were lost with radiotherapy.In this case, after the completion of chemotherapy for lung cancer, a patient who developed eye metastasis during follow-up, did not respond to treatment and whose symptoms were improved with radiotherapy, was presented.
