Paraneoplastic optic neuritis is a rare phenomenon that often presents as a diagnostic challenge. It has been mostly reported with small cell cancers or thymoma. Prompt treatment of the malignancy is the only effective therapy for the condition. Visual loss, once established usually becomes irreversible. We here report a case of paraneoplastic optic neuritis in a 40-year-old female with periampullary carcinoma. This is probably the first report of this association in the medical literature.
副肿瘤性视神经炎是一种罕见现象,常常构成诊断挑战。大多报道称其与小细胞癌或胸腺瘤有关。迅速治疗恶性肿瘤是针对该病症的唯一有效疗法。一旦出现视力丧失,通常会变得不可逆。我们在此报告一例40岁患有壶腹周围癌的女性副肿瘤性视神经炎病例。这可能是医学文献中关于这种关联的首例报道。
