B Vissamsetti et al. Urol Int. 2007.

Abstract

We report the case of a man with advanced prostate cancer who presented as an emergency with proptosis of his right eye. Cross-sectional imaging of his head confirmed the cause to be orbital metastases secondary to his prostate cancer. The patient responded well to treatment with dexamethasone and palliative orbital radiotherapy.
