Abstract |
Bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that causes visual loss in patients with systemic carcinoma. We report the case of a patient with this syndrome whose initial presentation and striking anterior segment findings mimicked that of an arteriovenous fistula. |
