Abstract
Choroidal metastases, along with choroidal melanoma, are common ocular malignancies. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman with metastatic breast carcinoma to the bone and lung, undergoing chemotherapy, who presented with a rapidly declining visual acuity in her right eye. The diagnosis of right unilateral choroidal metastasis was confirmed using fluorescein angiography, ocular ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. Choroidal metastases typically manifest in advanced stages of disseminated disease and have a poor prognosis. Early detection and appropriate management are crucial for these patients. The treatment approach remains palliative, focusing on systemic disease control and preserving vision when possible.
