Abstract
We report a case of visual paraneoplastic syndrome associated with undifferentiated endometrial carcinoma. This syndrome has not previously been reported with this type of tumour; it has occurred most often with small-cell carcinoma of the lung. Electroretinography and histopathological examination have consistently shown the site of injury to be the outer retina. We review the findings in the reported cases and the proposed causes of the loss of vision in this condition.Entities:
