title: Paraneoplastic disorders of ophthalmic interest.
abstract: Although paraneoplastic syndromes are not common, their recognition is important. Diagnosis of a paraneoplastic disorder can lead to the diagnosis of an underlying tumor or avoid the continued search for metastasis in a patient who has a known cancer. In addition, appropriate diagnosis leads to providing appropriate treatment and prognostic information.
