    A patient with metastatic breast cancer experienced repeated retinal artery emboli without vision loss. The source of these emboli remained unknown despite thorough medical investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology
    • Cardiovascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Metastatic breast carcinoma presents complex systemic challenges.
    • Retinal artery emboli can lead to significant vision impairment.

    Observation:

    • A 44-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer presented with recurrent branch and central retinal artery emboli.
    • The patient reported no subjective ocular complaints.
    • No cumulative visual field or acuity deficits were noted despite the embolic events.

    Findings:

    • The cause of the retinal artery emboli was not identified despite comprehensive systemic evaluation.
    • The absence of ocular symptoms and cumulative effects in the presence of emboli is unusual.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering embolic phenomena in cancer patients.
    • Further research may be needed to understand the specific mechanisms and risk factors for retinal emboli in this population.
    • Ophthalmological monitoring is crucial for patients with metastatic cancer, even in the absence of symptoms.
