Visual scotomata resulting from lupus anticoagulant in a patient with lymphoma in remission

M L Gruber et al. J Neurooncol. 1991 Aug.

Abstract

Episodic cerebro or retinovascular ischemic events without apparent cause occur in patients with cancer. We report a patient in remission from lymphoma whose multiple episodes of presumed ocular ischemia occurred in the setting of a circulating lupus anticoagulant. Symptoms resolved following therapy with Warfarin.
