Abstract
Case Report:
A case of a 41-year-old woman diagnosed and treated six years ago for a ductal breast carcinoma is presented. The patient complained of blurred vision in the right eye and this symptom was the first manifestation of tumoral relapse.
Discussion:
We emphasize a correct ophthalmological exploration of cancer patients for an early diagnosis of tumoral spread or relapse. This will allow a proper treatment which is expected to increase the life expectation of these patients.
