Case Record of the Massachusetts General Hospital (@MassGeneralNews): A 52-year-old man with metastatic small-cell lung cancer was evaluated in the ophthalmology clinic affiliated with the hospital because of vision loss in the left eye. On examination, the visual acuity was 20/100 in the right eye and 20/80 in the left eye. The pupils were symmetric and reactive to light. The intraocular pressure was normal in both eyes. A partial deficiency was noted in the outer inferior visual field of the left eye. Extraocular movements were normal. Slit-lamp examination revealed cataracts in both eyes; the anterior segments were otherwise normal. A dilated fundus examination (Panels A and B) revealed 2+ vitreous cells and a large, wedge-shaped lesion in the left eye; the lesion, which was characterized by retinal whitening associated with hemorrhages and some hard exudates, emanated from the inferior rim of the optic nerve head and extended to the inferior temporal aspect of the peripheral retina. No abnormalities were noted in the right eye on the dilated fundus examination. Optical coherence tomography revealed intraretinal fluid in the nasal macula of the left eye, along with intraretinal thickening at the border between the normal retina and the lesion. Ultrasonography of the left eye showed marked retinal thickening at the site of the lesion. Laboratory studies were obtained.
