To describe a case of recurrent, bilateral panuveitis caused by the BRAF proto-oncogene inhibitor vemurafenib.
Case report.
A 25-year-old woman developed bilateral panuveitis and macular edema after initiating treatment with the BRAF enzyme inhibitor vemurafenib for stage IV cutaneous melanoma. The patient was successfully treated with sub-Tenon triamcinolone injections along with cessation of the medication.
Panuveitis is a potential adverse effect of vemurafenib. Good communication with oncology is necessary, in case the medication needs to be discontinued.
