We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with breast cancer who experienced visual loss and altered color vision after two cycles of chemotherapy with 5 fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide. She was referred to our Ophthalmology department with suspicion of toxic optic neuropathy.
We herein report a 50-year-old Japanese woman with breast cancer who complained of blurred vision and central scotoma in her left eye on the 12th day after surgery. Subsequently, the sudden-onset binocular visual disorder progressed, and she was diagnosed with cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR)
As paclitaxel may induce positive spontaneous visual symptoms or persistent visual loss, we carried out this electrophysiological study in an attempt to clarify the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of visual pathway involvement. The study involved 30 breast cancer patients: 14 were treated
BACKGROUND
In approximately 0.6-12% of patients systemic tamoxifen therapy is complicated by ocular toxicity. Classical findings include severe loss of visual acuity combined with crystalline retinal deposits in the macula and macular edema or crystalline deposits in the peripheral
Paraneoplastic retinopathies are rare paraneoplastic phenomena resulting in retinal degeneration. They occur in association with different tumor types, yet most frequently encountered in small cell carcinoma of the lung. Clinical symptoms may be present before the diagnosis of the underlying
Immunotherapy with atezolizumab, a checkpoint inhibitor targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) axis, has shown promising results for the treatment of certain metastatic cancers. Atezolizumab-associated acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) with retinal venulitis is a newly
