Abstract: Paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the visual system are a group of conditions that arise in the systemic malignancy framework. In this review, we have provided a detailed and comprehensive overview of the published literature on the various ophthalmic paraneoplastic manifestations. A systematic review of many databases has been performed to identify ample literature on the paraneoplastic syndromes related to ophthalmology. We have discussed here the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies of various ophthalmic paraneoplastic syndromes. It can be challenging to distinguish these disorders from their non-paraneoplastic counterparts and to determine the appropriate systemic assessment for the tumour responsible, to have a proper approach towards the management of the syndrome. Method: We searched PubMed, Science Direct and Journal of Ophthalmology for studies published in English between 1995 and April 2020, incorporating the general search term “paraneoplastic ocular syndrome” with connecting terms relevant to subheadings—e.g. Key search terms were cancer-associated retinopathy, (CAR), melanoma-associated retinopathy, (MAR), paraneoplastic retinopathy, autoimmune retinopathy, autoimmune-related retinopathy, and optic neuropathy, (ARRON), acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, (AZOOR), paraneoplastic vitelliform maculopathy, paraneoplastic vitelliform retinopathy, bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation, (BDUMP), paraneoplastic optic neuropathy, (PON), polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclona gammopathy, and skin changes syndrome (POEMS) and various other terms. References from identified studies have been reviewed and included if deemed appropriate, valid, and scientifically important. If referenced in a selected English paper, we contemplated papers in other languages too. We preferentially selected papers that have been published in the last 10 years, but we have included relevant older references. |
