title: [Orbital metastasis of a prostatic cancer. A therapeutic emergency].
abstract: In the light of a case of left orbital metastasis, constituting the presenting sign of prostatic cancer in a 60-year-old man, the authors emphasize the rarity of this site, despite the high frequency of bone metastases in this disease. They discuss the diagnostic methods and stress the need for urgent treatment to save ocular function.
