| Abstract |
Ipilimumab is a novel monoclonal antibody targeting the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) receptor that has been shown to improve survival in metastatic melanoma. Previous case reports have documented its association with drug-induced uveitis. We report a patient who developed bilateral optic neuropathy with disc edema while taking this medication. |
