PURPOSE
To treat a 63-year-old woman who experienced fairly rapid vision loss in association with small-cell carcinoma of the lung.
METHODS
She underwent a full ophthalmologic examination, including fluorescein angiography and an immunologic study by Western blot analysis.
RESULTS
Fluorescein angiography demonstrated diffuse staining of the retinal vessels. She had 62-kd antiretinal antibody in her serum. Cancer-associated retinopathy was diagnosed.
CONCLUSION
The staining seen on the angiogram appears to indicate vasculitis, which would cause the characteristic attenuation of retinal vessels in this disease.
