Abstract

To report a patient who was initially examined with optic tract syndrome caused by a focal metastasis to the lateral geniculate body and optic tract. Case report. A 44-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer was initially examined with normal central visual acuity, afferent pupillary defect, homonymous hemianopia, and optic atrophy. This case demonstrates that an isolated optic tract syndrome may occur as a result of metastatic lesions to the lateral geniculate body and optic tract.
