Description |
Cancer associated retinopathy (CAR) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that causes autoimmune retinopathy. This occurs as auto-antibodies against tumor-tissue antigens cross-react with retinal-tissue antigens. Patients commonly present with subacute bilateral painless vision loss associated with photopsia and photosensitivity. Symptoms of rod dysfunction include nyctalopia and ring scotomas, while cone dysfunction causes dyschromatopsia, photosensitivity and central scotomas. CAR often presents with near-normal fundoscopy. Herein, we report a case of an uncommon presentation of CAR with acute dyschromatopsia as a sole visual symptom in a patient with known metastatic pancreatic cancer adenocarcinoma. |
