Castleman disease

Castleman disease (CD) is a benign lymphoproliferative disorder that may present as a localized or multicentric form (see these terms). The clinical manifestations are heterogeneous, ranging from asymptomatic discrete lymphadenopathy to recurrent episodes of diffuse lymphadenopathy with severe systemic symptoms.

Visual loss

Loss of visual acuity (implying that vision was better at a certain timepoint in life). Otherwise the term reduced visual acuity should be used (or a subclass of that).
