title: Palinopsia as the initial manifestation of non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: A 37-year old general practitioner thought to be in good health presented to the ophthalmology department with palinopsia, headaches and transient visual obscurations. A CT scan revealed a large destructive lesion centred on the occiput and stealth guided excisional biopsy of the occipital lesion showed diffuse large B cell, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) infiltration. To the best of our knowledge this is only the second report of a patient with NHL presenting with palinopsia.
