Abstract
Introduction

Isolated optic nerve metastases are extremely uncommon. Many cases are associated with involvement from locations such as the choroid, orbit, or central nervous system. Optic nerve metastases often have their origin in primary tumors of the breast, lung, and stomach, in adults.

Case report

The case is presented of a 57 year-old woman with a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Her first complaint was a sudden loss of visual acuity in her right eye. The diagnosis of optic nerve metastases was made based on her history, and the results of the MRI scan.

Discussion

Isolated optic nerve metastases are an uncommon condition, but should be suspected in any patient with a history of oncology who has deteriorated visual acuity.

Keywords:
Lung cancer
Optic nerve metastasis
Roth spot
