Ewing's sarcoma can present with unusual neuro-ophthalmologic symptoms, including migraine-like visual disturbances and orbital syndromes, even when the primary tumor is not in the brain. Early recognition is key for diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Oncology

Background:

  • Ewing sarcoma is a rare bone cancer primarily affecting children and young adults.
  • Intracranial involvement of Ewing sarcoma is uncommon, but can occur with metastatic disease.
  • Neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations are not typically associated with Ewing sarcoma.

Observation:

  • Three patients with Ewing sarcoma experienced neuro-ophthalmologic symptoms.
  • Two patients presented with headache and transient visual disturbances mimicking migraine, leading to the discovery of occipital metastases.
  • One patient developed an orbital syndrome.

Findings:

  • Intracranial Ewing sarcoma can manifest with diverse neuro-ophthalmologic signs.
  • Metastatic Ewing sarcoma to the occipital lobe may present with visual symptoms.

  • Orbital involvement can be a presenting feature of Ewing sarcoma.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering Ewing sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of unexplained neuro-ophthalmologic symptoms.
    • Suggests that neuro-ophthalmologic evaluation may aid in the early detection of intracranial or metastatic Ewing sarcoma.
    • Underscores the need for thorough oncologic workup in patients with unusual neurological or visual complaints.
