Abstract: Optic disk melanocytoma (ODM) is a rare benign tumor of the optic disk. We report a rare occurrence of profound visual loss due to central retinal artery occlusion associated with ODM in a 78‐year‐old female with no significant medical history. The clinical findings were supplemented by ancillary investigations.

This review covers the tumors either originating or seen close to the optic disc in the peripapillary area. Most of the optic disc tumors are diagnosed on clinical examination. In a few atypical cases, ancillary imaging, such as optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and ultrasonography, may be required to demonstrate characteristic features. The majority of these tumors have systemic associations, and hence, a multidisciplinary approach involving ocular oncologists, neurophysicians, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists is the need of the hour. The treatment of optic disc tumor is challenging due to its proximity to critical areas such as optic nerve and macula, which could be a limiting step when compared to conventional treatments such as laser photocoagulation and surgical excision.

BACKGROUND Both rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) are rare medical diseases, and their simultaneous occurrence in the same patient is extraordinarily uncommon. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the clinical manifestations, diagnostic imaging results, and therapeutic interventions of a patient with both conditions. CASE SUMMARY In this report, we present a 30-year-old male who presented with significant protrusion, pain and vision loss and was diagnosed with RMS in the orbit and sinus with CRAO. Following resection of the sinus and orbital mass and enucleation of the right eye, the patient experienced symptom improvement. CONCLUSION This article provides an in-depth analysis of the patient’s clinical manifestations, the tumor’s anatomical origin, and the etiology of CRAO. The concurrent manifestation of both RMS and CRAO is exceedingly uncommon in clinical practice.
