Abstract
BACKGROUND
Both rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) are rare medical diseases, and their simultaneous occurrence in the same patient is extraordinarily uncommon. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the clinical manifestations, diagnostic imaging results, and therapeutic interventions of a patient with both conditions.
CASE SUMMARY
In this report, we present a 30-year-old male who presented with significant protrusion, pain and vision loss and was diagnosed with RMS in the orbit and sinus with CRAO. Following resection of the sinus and orbital mass and enucleation of the right eye, the patient experienced symptom improvement.
CONCLUSION
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the patient’s clinical manifestations, the tumor’s anatomical origin, and the etiology of CRAO. The concurrent manifestation of both RMS and CRAO is exceedingly uncommon in clinical practice.
Core Tip: Rhabdomyosarcoma is a highly malignant tumor that rarely occurs in young adults. We report a case of a 30-year-old male diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma involving the orbit and sinus complicated by central retinal artery occlusion. We investigated the causes of these conditions in this patient using the clinical presentation and signs, pathologic examination and imaging.
