Retrospective chart review was used. Case Presentation We describe a 74-year-old male with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who was treated with sunitinib and experienced severe loss of visual acuity due to serous retinal detachment and intraretinal fluid. Upon discontinuation of sunitinib, the retinal fluid resolved, and visual acuity was restored.Conclusion:
