Advanced Ethmoid Sinus Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Temporary Exudative Retinal Detachment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the case of a 70-year-old male patient with ethmoid sinus adenocarcinoma who developed an exudative retinal detachment (ERD) in the right eye as the first manifestation. Two weeks after presentation, total regression of the ERD was noted. Extensive investigations for local causes of ERD were unrewarding. Finally, we performed a computed tomography scanning of the head that revealed an ethmoidal mass extending to the orbit. The diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was confirmed by biopsy. Neoplastic phenomena should be considered in patients presenting with temporary ERD.

متن کاملEffective Treatment with Intravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab for Exudative Retinal Detachment Secondary to Choroidal Metastasis of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

Lung cancer is the most frequent primary site of choroidal metastasis in men, but improvement of visual disturbance has not always been emphasized in lung cancers. Recently intravitreal bevacizumab is a newer modality being tried for local contr...
متن کاملTeaching Point (Section Editor: W. Herrington) Exudative detachment as a masquerader in hypoalbuminaemic patients
Retinal detachment (RD) is a serious condition that may lead to permanent loss of vision. Most RDs result from a tear(s) in the retina, through which liquefied vitreous enters the sub-retinal space. Rarely, however, exudative retinal detachment (ERD) occurs due to an underlying ocular or systemic condition that produces excess subretinal fluid in the absence of tears and/or tractional pull [1]....
