Summary
Bilateral retinal metastasis, a rare condition, presents challenges in diagnosis due to mimicking retinitis symptoms. This case highlights its occurrence in a breast cancer patient, indicating widespread disease.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Oncology
Background:
- Ocular metastases are rare, affecting 5%–10% of cancer patients.
- Retinal metastasis is exceptionally uncommon (<1% of ocular metastases) due to the eye's avascularity and limited blood supply.
- Symptoms like watery discharge and conjunctival injection can mimic retinitis, complicating diagnosis.
