[Retroorbital metastasis in the initial diagnosis of prostate cancer].
OBJECTIVE
To describe one case of advanced prostate cancer first presenting with binocular diplopia due to retroorbital metastasis.


METHODS
We present the case of a 54-year-old patient with the diagnosis of disseminated prostate cancer treated by complete androgen blockade.


RESULTS
After the start of hormonal treatment, the patient initially improved although survival was limited.


CONCLUSIONS
Orbital metastasis is an infrequent site for prostate cancer dissemination which implies a limited survival oscillating between 7,5-30 months. In our case survival was 10 months from diagnosis.
