Abstract

We describe two cases of painless visual loss, initially thought to be giant cell arteritis or carcinoma-associated retinopathy in whom subsequent investigation revealed carcinomatous meningitis. These cases emphasise the difficulties that may occur in the diagnosis of carcinomatous meningitis and that isolated visual loss may be a presenting feature.
