[Review of paraneoplastic retinopathies illustrated by two case reports]

The clinical symptoms of paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the retina are varied and difficult to recognize. Ocular symptoms often appear as the first symptom, even before the diagnosis of cancer, so their recognition is of great importance. In our paper, we discuss paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the retina: cancer-associated retinopathy, melanoma-associated retinopathy, paraneoplastic vitelliform maculopathy, paraneoplastic optic neuropathy, and bilateral diffuse uveal melanocyte proliferation with case reports. Our goal is to contribute to the early diagnosis and rapid, adequate treatment of cancer through the early detection of paraneoplastic ophthalmic syndromes and a multidisciplinary approach.
