Summary

Choroidal melanoma can be treated with endoresection, an eye-sparing alternative to enucleation. This surgical approach may be suitable for select cases not eligible for other treatments.

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Choroidal melanoma is a rare intraocular malignancy.
  • Treatment options aim to preserve vision and prevent metastasis.

Observation:

  • This study reviewed two patients with choroidal melanoma unsuitable for brachytherapy.
  • Both patients underwent tumor endoresection combined with brachytherapy.

Findings:

  • Postoperative follow-up at six months showed varied visual acuity outcomes.
  • Neither patient experienced tumor recurrence or metastasis during the observation period.

Implications:

  • Endoresection offers a potential eye-salvaging treatment for choroidal melanoma.
  • Further research is necessary to validate the efficacy of this controversial surgical technique.
