Beyond Treatment: The Strategy of Nonintervention in Choroidal Hemangioma
ABSTRACT The circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) is a benign congenital eye tumor whose etiology is not clear. A 41‐year‐old female patient came with a 2‐year history of slowly progressive deteriorating vision in her right eye. In the left eye, the best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/6, and counting fingers at 1 m in the right eye.

ABSTRACT Background Atypical glioblastoma (GBM) (minimal or no necrosis on MRI) and primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) are difficult to distinguish on MRI; whether tumor habitat can more accurately distinguish atypical GBM from PCNSL remains uncertain.

Systemic Surveillance Guidelines for Uveal Melanoma: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Background Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular tumour. Despite effective local therapies, UM has a high risk of metastatic recurrence, most frequently to the liver. A significant proportion of patients treated definitively for primary UM eventually experience metastatic disease. Systemic surveillance to detect recurrence

Reduction of severe visual loss and complications following intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for refractory retinoblastoma. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for retinoblastoma has been documented as causing visual loss and ocular motility problems. A lack of safety data has precluded its acceptance in all centres.

Presumed Choroidal Metastasis of Primary Cutaneous Melanoma: A Case Report
Introduction: Choroidal metastases most often originate from breast tumors in females and lung cancer in males. Primary cutaneous tumors rarely metastasize to the uveal tract.
