Introduction

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor associated retinopathy (MAPK-retinopathy) resembling central serous chorioretinopathy (CSR) was described in few observational cohort-based studies [1], [2], [3] as well as in a case report [4]. Interestingly, the incidence of this complication seems to increase considerably under a combination of vemurafenib and cobimetinib as compared to vemurafenib monotherapy as was recently reported [2]. In this case symptoms of CSR started 3 days after introduction of vemurafenib and cobimetinib chemotherapy.
