Article Synopsis
- Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is commonly used to treat degenerative spinal issues like disc herniations and spinal stenosis but can lead to rare complications such as vision loss.
- A case is highlighted involving a 70-year-old man who underwent TLIF and experienced complete vision loss in his left eye post-surgery, which was later confirmed as irreversible optic nerve damage.
- This incident emphasizes the critical need for careful intraoperative positioning and assessment in patients with existing eye conditions to prevent potential complications like postoperative vision loss (POVL).

Purpose: We report a case of retinal toxicity induced by SBP-101, a polyamine inhibitor for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, presenting as rapidly progressive bilateral central retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) atrophy in a patient with a silent ocular history.
Observations: A 69-year-old female patient with a metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma visited our retina clinic referring a 6-months history of blurred vision and progressive visual field loss. One year before, she started administration of SBP-101 combined with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine to treat her malignancy.
