Point-of-care Ultrasound Diagnosed Intraocular Breast Metastasis
Abstract
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old female presented to the emergency department with unilateral eye pain and vision loss. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was performed, which demonstrated ocular metastatic lesions of breast cancer. Discussion: Ocular metastasis is rare, clinically challenging, and may present with a wide range of ophthalmic symptoms. However, POCUS may safely and rapidly identify metastatic lesions to direct further care.
