Abstract
This case report describes an unreported case of Purtscher-like retinopathy in a patient with pulmonary adenocarcinoma. A 39-year-old man was hospitalized for exploration of a hemoptysis and bilateral blurry vision. Fundoscopic examination showed multiple areas of retinal whitening in the peripapillary area. A chest computed tomography scan then showed a ground glass opacity in the right upper lobe associated to a hilar lymphadenopathy. A thoracotomy and lung biopsy were performed concluding with the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated with high-dose corticosteroids and received Taxol-Carboplatin chemotherapy with good visual outcomes. The article discusses furthermore the importance of including pulmonary adenocarcinoma to the list of systemic conditions for Purtscher-like retinopathy.
