Abstract:
Choroidal metastasis is a rare presenting feature of breast carcinoma. A 48-year-old woman presented with blurred vision of the right eye related to choroidal metastasis. Diagnostic work-up disclosed breast carcinoma with multiple metastases of the liver and lungs. Initial cerebral computed tomography scan was normal. During the follow-up, generalized seizure leaded to the diagnosis of multiple calcified cerebral metastasis. In 15 to 30 percent of cases, choroidal metastasis reveals a solid tumor, usually of the lung or the breast. Cerebral metastasis are common in breast cancer, but rarely calcified.
