Rico G, Smith SV, Siddiqui Y, Whyte A, Gombos D, Lee AG.
Eye (Lond). 2017;31(8):1245-1248.
One patient presented with diplopia due to metastasis to the left medial rectus muscle, two patients had metastasis to the occipital lobe resulting in homonymous hemianopsia, one patient had involvement of the clivus resulting in sixth nerve palsy, and one presented with a hypercoagulable state-related stroke causing a homonymous hemianopsia and visual hallucinations.ConclusionsNeuro-ophthalmic manifestations of cholangiocarcinoma depend upon both mechanism and localization.
