Anterior clinoid process metastasis with sudden loss of vision: role of emergency optic nerve decompression by Marta Rico-Pereira, Fernando Muñoz-Hernández

“…Conclusions Metastasis to the anterior clinoid process is very uncommon, with only one case previously reported in the literature. In cases of visual impairment, symptoms may deteriorate rapidly to complete loss of vision, so urgent decompressive surgery of the optic nerve may be indicated to recover visual function, although recovery may be partial.…”
