Description Carcinoma-Associated Retinopathy (CAR) is one of the least common causes of visual dysfunction in patients with neoplasms. Patients with CAR develop anti-retinal antibodies that cause concomitant loss of vision with rod and cone dysfunction. These antibodies are stimulated by systemic, non-ocular tumors from lung and breast carcinomas. To the best of our knowledge, CAR has not been associated with neuroblastoma in the adult.
