title: [Enophthalmos with limitation of bulbar motility as a rare clinical symptom of metastasizing carcinoma of the breast (author's transl)].
abstract: A 57-year-old woman presented with a ptosis of her left eye four weeks prior to surgery for scirrhous carcinoma of the breast. Six months later she had blurred vision in her left eye, and double vision occurred three months subsequently. The diagnosis was enophthalmus and ophthalmoplegia. The suspected diagnosis of a distant metastasis of the scirrhous carcinoma of the breast was confirmed by biopsy. The orbital symptoms were a rare first sign not only of a metastatic process, but also of the carcinoma itself.
