Early cystoid macular edema causing some loss of central vision in an eye with an 8-year history of limbal melanoma was studied histopathologically. A typical combination of slight chronic uveitis, vitreoretinal traction, parafoveal separation of posterior vitreous and inner-limiting membrane,

Uveal melanomas are a common clinical entity that initially present in a variety of ways. Cystoid macular edema is caused by many conditions, but it is rarely associated with uveal melanoma. We report two cases of patients that presented with visually significant cystoid macular edema that was later

OBJECTIVE Although the association of cystoid macular edema with peripheral choroidal melanoma has been studied previously, the pathogenesis of cystoid macular edema as evaluated by light and electron microscopy remains controversial. We evaluated the cause of cystoid macular edema at the retinal

OBJECTIVE To describe the efficacy and safety of a single intravitreal implant of dexamethasone in a patient affected by radiation maculopathy due to proton beam radiotherapy for choroidal melanoma. METHODS Retrospective data of a 46-year-old woman treated with a single intravitreal injection of

Hyperintense perilesional edema in brain masses on T1-weighted images (T1WI) is an unusual radiological finding. We report three cases showing this particular type of edema, one representing cerebral hemorrhagic cavernous malformation (CCM, cavernoma) and the other two, metastases of melanoma. The

BACKGROUND Novel immune checkpoint inhibitors have been often utilized for different types of malignancies as salvage therapy with varying success. One obstacle to immune checkpoint inhibitor use is the higher incidence of immune-mediated side effects that can prompt discontinuation of therapy.

UNASSIGNED To report the clinical presentation, multimodal imaging, and management of a patient with metastatic melanoma who presented with cystoid macular edema (CME). UNASSIGNED We report a case of a 71-year-old Caucasian male with metastatic melanoma who presented with bilateral cystoid macular

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of early subclinical macular edema in eyes with uveal melanoma and its association with future cystoid macular edema (CME). METHODS Retrospective cohort study. METHODS A total of 306 patients with uveal melanoma; 260 patients had follow-up of 1 or more years

Symptoms and signs related to cystoid macular edema were the initial findings in a patient with a choroidal malignant melanoma located in the equatorial region of the globe. Histopathologic findings included retinal perivasculitis and cystoid macular edema. There was no evidence of a serous

A 40-year-old woman is described with a ciliary body melanoma presenting with localized corneal edema and keratic precipitates. A ciliary body mass was visualized when the pupil was dilated. The mass was excised by corneoscleroiridocyclectomy and was a spindle B melanoma of the ciliary body. There

The administration of high-dose continuous intravenous infusion interleukin-2 (IL-2) is able to induce the presence of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. LAK are able to nonspecifically lyse tumor cells. They are also able to lyse endothelial cells, which accounts for, at least in part, the

OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of monthly injections of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) for macular edema after iodine-125 plaque radiotherapy of uveal melanoma. METHODS We studied 36 patients with macular edema after plaque radiotherapy of uveal melanoma in this noncomparative, interventional

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of an intravitreal dexamethasone (Dex) implant 0.7 mg compared with intravitreal ranibizumab (Ra) for the treatment of radiation maculopathy with macular edema secondary to plaque brachytherapy in choroidal melanoma. METHODS Eight patients were treated with

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab treatment on patients with macular edema (ME) due to radiation retinopathy after plaque radiotherapy for choroidal melanoma. METHODS In this retrospective case series, 10 consecutive patients with ME due to radiation retinopathy after
