non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) is one of the masquerade syndromes of malignant melanoma that can occur with two main patterns of presentations in the eye: metastatic involvement of uveal tract, and primary involvement of retina. we report ophthalmic, imaging and histopathological findings in the first case diagnosed as primary choroidal nhl without central nervous system or systemic involvement. a ...

Purpose . To describe two ipsilateral, metachronous, ocular choroidal melanoma metastases. Material and methods A 64-year-old patient was initially treated with palladium-103 ophthalmic plaque brachytherapy which induced local control of the primary cancer. Seven years later, findings a second, discrete prompted restaging revealed new hepatic nodal Systemic immunotherapy (ipilimumab 3 mg/kg niv...

AIM To evaluate proton-beam radiotherapy (PBRT) in the management of uveal melanoma in Scotland. METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken on all patients receiving PBRT for uveal melanoma (1994-2005). Data obtained included: gender, past ocular/medical history, age, presenting complaint(s), diagnosis, laterality, tumor location/ultrasound characteristics, visual acuity (VA) and intraocul...

Introduction: The term glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that have a characteristic optic neuropathy with associated visual field loss in common. Intraocular pressure has been considered to be the only causal factor for glaucoma and the only factor that can be manipulated to alter the course of the disease. But considering high intraocular pressure as the only factor responsible for glauco...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the use of 3D printed model of an eye with intraocular tumor for linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery. METHODS The software for segmentation (3D Slicer) created virtual 3D model of eye globe with tumorous mass based on tissue density from computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging data. A virtual model was then proce...

retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular neoplasm in children. glial tumor of the retina and optic nerve head are considered to be congenital and are therefore classified as hamartomas. concurrent occurrence of these tumors in one eye is uncommon and by reviewing the studies, a few cases have been reported. we report a 9 years old boy with eye enucleation and concurrent occurrence of retin...

PURPOSE To characterize, in detail, tumor development, malignant cell dissemination, and metastasis in a 10-week animal model of uveal melanoma. METHODS One million 92.1 human primary uveal melanoma cells were injected into the suprachoroidal space of the right eye of 27 immunosuppressed albino rabbits. Intraocular tumor growth was monitored weekly by fundoscopy and by ultrasonography at the ...

Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis, uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute retinal necrosis, or herpetic retin...

introduction: this study aimed to investigate the diurnal intraocular pressure fluctuations under dehydration conditions and the relationship between the intraocular pressure fluctuations and blood pressure. methods: the intraocular pressures (iop), body weights, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressures (sbp, dbp) of 36 fasting healthy volunteers were recorded at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m...
