| dc.description | Purpose: To present a rare case of advanced disseminated prostate cancer with bilateral visual loss as the initial
manifestation of the disease.
Observations: A 55-year-old man referring progressive visual blurring for the last 6 months and painless severe
bilateral visual loss in the last 7 days prior to our consultation, associated with a bilateral optic disc swelling and
leptomeningeal metastases from a previously ignored prostate carcinoma is presented. Rapid improvement of
visual acuity and involution of leptomeningeal metastasis was observed after initiation of the specific oncologic
treatment.
Conclusions and importance: Bilateral visual loss may be the initial manifestation of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis from an ignored prostate cancer. Prompt diagnosis is crucial in order to improve the quality of life of a critically ill patient with a disseminated prostate cancer. | |
