Bilateral serous epithelial detachment after starting therapy with Erdafitinib
This report aims to describe a case of bilateral, multifocal neurosensory retinal detachments that developed during erdafitinib therapy for metastatic urothelial carcinoma. A case report with color fundus imaging and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging is presented. A 50-year-old man with metastatic urothelial carcinoma had an unremarkable baseline ophthalmic examination prior to starting erdafitinib. At 3-month follow up, an examination revealed bilateral, multifocal retinal detachments. Because the patient was asymptomatic and erdafitinib was the only drug to which his tumor had responded, he was kept on the medication with close ophthalmic monitoring. Erdafitinib, a fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitor, can cause bilateral, multifocal retinal detachments. Continuation of erdafitinib may be considered in patients without significant visual impairment when the overall benefit of the medication appears to outweigh the risks.
