Prostatic Carcinoma Metastatic to Optic Nerve and Choroid

A Case of Metastatic Optic Nerve Head and Retinal Carcinoma with Vitreous Seeds (With 1 color plate)

“…The vessel seemed to be occluded gradually and partially. Zappia et al [9] re ported a typical case in which central retinal artery compression and vein occlusion due to metastatic carcinoma of the optic nerve and choroid were observed. Gallie et al [5) also examined a case in which a large central vessel was occluded by metastatic carcinoma.…”

Isolated Unilateral Infiltrative Optic Neuropathy in a Patient with Breast Cancer

“…Tumor cells can sometimes be seen in the vitreous body. 4,8,9,10 In metastases involving the posterior aspect of the orbital portion of the optic nerve, the optic disc appears normal in the early stages. 3 In our patient, the right optic disc was swollen with peripapillary flame-shaped hemorrhages and a yellowish infiltrative mass on the disc.…”

Extraconal Orbital Soft Tissue Metastasis Secondary to Prostate Cancer: An Unusual Presentation

“…However, soft tissue metastasis to the orbit is extremely rare. Most cases of soft tissue orbital metastasis secondary to PC involve the uveal tract [ 13 - 17 ] ( Table 1 ). PC is the most common primary cancer to metastasize to the iris (uveal tract) and the reported incidence ranges from 8% to 10% [ 18 , 19 ].…”
