Blurred vision as the first symptom of pancreatic cancer
, pancreatic cancer with uveal metastasis has one of the least favourable survival rates. Our patient survived 20 months after the appearance of ophthalmic symptoms and had a good quality of life for a relatively long time. After reviewing all published data on intraocular metastases of pancreatic cancer, it becomes evident that the detection of the intraocular manifestation precedes the detection of the primary in half of the cases.Apparently, in fast-growing carcinomas, the symptomatology of the metastatic manifestation can precede the detection of the primary tumour.
