RESUMO
Metastases are the most common adult intraocular tumors. However, those located in the optic nerve are very uncommon and are usually associated with spread to other locations such as the central nervous system, which darkens the prognosis. There is a case of a 67-year-old woman who reports progressive vision loss in the right eye of 15 days of evolution. The ophthalmological examination shows a relative afferent pupil defect in this eye and a pseudoedema of the papilla with retinal hemorrhages in the fundus. Personal history and characteristics of the optic nerve suggest the diagnosis of metastatic infiltration.

Las metástasis son los tumores intraoculares más frecuentes del adulto. Sin embargo, aquellas localizadas en el nervio óptico son muy infrecuentes y suelen asociarse a diseminación en otras localizaciones como el sistema nervioso central, lo que ensombrece el pronóstico.Se presenta un caso de una mujer de 67 años que refiere pérdida de visión progresiva en el ojo derecho de 15 días de evolución. En la exploración oftalmológica se observa un defecto pupilar aferente relativo en dicho ojo y un pseudoedema de papila con hemorragias retinianas en el fondo de ojo. Los antecedentes personales y las características del nervio óptico apuntan al diagnóstico de infiltración metastásica. (AU)
