## TL;DR

A rare case shows lung cancer can first appear as retinal detachment, highlighting the importance of early MRI diagnosis.

## Contribution

Highlights a rare initial clinical manifestation of lung cancer as retinal detachment with intraorbital metastases.

## Key findings

- Retinal detachment can be an early sign of non-small cell lung cancer with intraorbital metastases.
- Early diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging is crucial for treatment decisions.

## Abstract

Teaching Point: Retinal detachment is a rare initial clinical manifestation of lung cancer with intraorbital metastases, early diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging is important for therapeutic implications.
