要約 目的:両眼の網膜中心動脈閉塞症を契機として肺小細胞癌が発見された症例の報告。症例:77歳女性が右眼の視朦を自覚し,即日受診した。過去18年間の喫煙歴があった。所見と経過:矯正視力は右指数弁,左0.4で,両眼に角膜後面沈着物,硝子体混濁と桜実黄斑があった。蛍光眼底造影で右眼に網膜中心動脈閉塞症,左眼に網膜動脈分枝閉塞症があった。5日後に左眼に網膜中心動脈閉塞症が発症し,視力は0.01になった。血液の癌胎児性抗原(CEA)が高値で,縦隔と肺上葉に腫瘍が発見された。2週後の縦隔リンパ節生検で転移性肺小細胞癌と診断された。全身検査で脳への多発性転移と右内頸動脈から中大脳動脈にかけての狭窄があった。全身的な化学療法で眼内炎の所見は軽快し,以後6か月間の再発はない。視力の改善はなかった。結論:高齢者の両眼に発症した網膜中心動脈閉塞症は,悪性腫瘍が原因である可能性がある。
Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of small cell lung cancer with bilateral central retinal artery occlusion(CRAO)as the initial manifestation. Case:A 77-year-old female noticed blurring of vision in the right eye and sought medical advice the same day. She had been a smoker in the past 18 years. Findings and Clinical Course:Corrected visual acuity was counting fingers right and 0.4 left. Both eyes showed retrocorneal precipitates, vitreous opacity, and cherry-red macula. The right eye was diagnosed with CRAO and the left eye with branch retinal artery occlusion. The left eye developed CRAO 5 days later with visual acuity down to 0.01. She showed elevated level of carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)that led to detection of tumor in the mediastinum and upper lung lobe. Biopsy led to the diagnosis of metastatic small cell lung cancer. Systemic studies showed multiple cerebral metastases and attenuated right internal carotid artery. Systemic chemotherapy was followed by disappearance of signs of intraocular inflammation. There has been no flare-up for 6 months until present. Conclusion:This case illustrates that bilateral CRAO may be secondary to extraocular malignancy.
