Zusammenfassung:	A case of isolated optic nerve metastasis from breast carcinoma is described. Intraocular tumor was discovered three months following a radical mastectomy and was confined to the optic nerve head and distal optic nerve. Following X-irradiation treatment, central retinal vascular occlusion, rubeosis, and neovascular glaucoma developed during the fifteen months before enucleation. The clinicopathologic features of this case are discussed and the literature reviewed.
