Purpose:
To report a case and describe the clinical approach to a patient with a non-small cell lung carcinoma and paraneoplastic optic neuropathy.
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
A 79-year-old woman with known non-small cell lung carcinoma was admitted with a swollen optic disc in the right eye. After detailed clinical, laboratory, and imaging studies, the authors diagnosed paraneoplastic optic neuropathy, excluding other possible diagnosis.
Conclusions:
Paraneoplastic optic neuropathy is a clinical challenge and should be considered as a possible diagnosis in every cancer patient with optic disc edema.
