PURPOSE: 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. METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: 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. CONCLUSION: 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.
