The uveals metastases are the most frequent malignant tumours of the eye, 10 times more than the melanoma. Their rate of which has occurred is estimated in the recent literature between 2 and 38%, their period of apparition are more often at the final stage of the neoplasma. Our work present the rare case of 40 year old patient, in quite condition general, addressed to our consultation for bilateral retinal detachment, whose clinical exams, angiographic, B-scan, CT-tomography and mammography make it possible to keep the diagnosis of bilateral uveal metastasis revealing an unrecognised néoplasma of the breast to the stage of bony and ganglial metastasis. Knowing the severe prognosis of uveal metastasis, a suitable treatment is started trying as well as possible to preserve the visual prognosis in this patient suffering of cancer.
