Abstract

Purpose

To report a patient with cancer-associated retinopathy and retinal ON-bipolar cell dysfunction who had a resolution of the electroretinograms (ERGs) after a resection of an ovarian cancer and chemotherapy.

Case report

A 71-year-old Japanese female patient visited us complaining of night blindness and photopsia in both eyes for 6 months. Her visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes, and fundus examination, fluorescence angiography, and optical coherence tomography showed no abnormalities in both eyes. The rod responses of the ERGs were absent and bright-flash ERGs were electronegative. The ON responses of the focal macular ERGs and full-field long-flash ERGs were absent. These ERG findings indicate an ON-bipolar cell dysfunction. A general physical examination revealed the presence of ovarian cancer. After resection of the ovarian cancer and adjuvant chemotherapy, the ERGs of the left eye completely recovered within 2 years and those of right eye recovered subsequently. The autoantibody against transient receptor potential melastatin 1 (TRPM1) was not detected in the serum.

Conclusion

Our case demonstrates that retinal ON-bipolar dysfunction can be caused by ovarian cancer. Our case indicates that some autoantibodies against other than TRPM1 might cause transient dysfunction of retinal ON-bipolar cells.
