Abstract

A 45-year-old woman was treated in January 2015 by conservative surgery for a stage breast cancer, luminal a subtype, node negative breast cancer. She received after a loco-regional radiotherapy followed by adjuvant hormone therapy by anastrozole since May 2015 for a programmed period of 5 years. Treatment was good tolerated excluding hot flushes and osteoarticular pain. She complained since March 2018 from visual disorders with blurry vision. Clinical exam showed a visual function at 8/10 for both eyes. Ophthalmic explorations showed a normal anterior segment and signs of intermediate uveitis of both eyes with positive vitreous Tyndall. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Fluorescein angiography were normal. Anastrozole was stopped after 3 years of treatment leading to symptoms resolution.
