Abstract:
Chemotherapeutic agents used against tumours have a variety of toxic effects. We describe a case of acute blindness in the left eye of a patient after treatment with cisplatin for lung cancer. Both the clinical findings and the absence of either ocular or retrobulbar metastasis suggested that the condition was related to chemotoxicity.
