Description |
Cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) involves aberrant antibodies against retinal antigens, such as recoverin and enolase, leading to retinal degeneration. Clinical exam is often unremarkable despite visual symptoms. Retinal vascular abnormalities are rare and typically end-stage manifestations. Electroretinography (ERG) demonstrates reduced rod and cone responses. We report an unusual presentation of CAR leading to the diagnosis of lung cancer. |
