초록
Although the most commonly encountered orbital tumor is metastatic tumor, adenocarcinoma of stomach metastasized to the optic nerve is rarely reported. The authors discuss a rare case of metastatic adenocarcinoma of left optic nerve with a review of literature. A 44-year-old man presented with decreased visual acuity of left eye for 3 months. Neurologic examination revealed left optic neuropathy. On MR imaging, a homogenously wellenhanced mass surrounding left optic nerve around optic canal was noticed. The X-rays and the whole body bone scan sho-wed multiple bony metastasis. Subtotal removal was performed via combined subfrontal and pterional approach and metastatic adenocarcinoma from the stomach was confirmed histologically. Postoperative course was uneventful, but there was no improvement of visual acuity.
