PURPOSE: To report a case of concurrent melanoma metastasis to the orbit and MEK inhibitor-associated retinopathy. METHODS: Case report of a 66-year-old female patient undergoing mutation targeted MEK-inhibitor treatment for metastatic melanoma with retinal manifestations. RESULTS: After initiating MEK-inhibitor therapy our patient presented with bilateral blurred vision. Clinical examination and OCT imaging revealed multifocal bilateral serous retinal detachments consistent with MEKAR. Extrafoveal subretinal fluid foci resolved after discontinuation of MEK-inhibitor therapy, but her foveal lesions persisted for over 18 months. Years after her initial evaluation for MEKAR, our patient developed metamorphopsia in the left eye resulting from chorioretinal folds secondary to intraconal orbital metastasis. MRI revealed additional intracerebral and lung metastases, and the patient expired in 2 months. CONCLUSION: We report a case of prolonged MEKAR with concomitant orbital metastasis from melanoma. Multimodal imaging in conjunction with history and clinical features allows for disease identification and monitoring.
