Clinicopathologic case reports: Optic nerve head metastasis
B. L. Gallie, J. E. Graham and W. S. Hunter
A case of tumor metastasis from carcinoma of the lung directly to the
cribriform plate is described. Retina and optic nerve were involved, but
there was no evidence of tumor invasion of the choroid. It is postulated
that the original tumor embolus lodged in a cribriform branch of the
arterial circle of Zinn or in the central retinal vessels.
