The main cause of death is metastatic spread, which occurs with a variable time delay after tumor discovery in 50 % of patients. After metastasis development the mean survival rate decreases to less than 6 months. Progression t...

Purpose: A retrospective study of anatomical and functional results of haemorrhages sub-internal limiting membrane treated by pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling. Materials and methods: The studied group consists of 6 patients – 6 eyes with acute bleeding under internal limiting membrane at the age of 18–59 years (mean age 37,3 years). The group was ethiopathogenetically ...

Objective: Comparison of two methods of irradiation of patients with malignant choroidal melanoma – stereotactic radiosurgery and proton beam irradiation. External (non-contact) applied irradiation is used as a source of accelerated protons, respectively helium ions. This method allows applications of ionizing irradiation also despite the low radiosensitivity of cells of malignant melanoma of the ...

Objective: Course of progression of the malignant choroidal melanoma diagnosed in T2 stage up to stage T4 with infiltration of the orbit. Case report 41 year old patient  dentified with intraocular malignant melanoma in the year 2005, documentation of disease progression and disease. Access to treatment of intraocular malignant melanoma in stage T1 - T2 in the last decade has changed from a radica...

The area of ophthalmooncology includes not only intraocular tumors but also adnexal and extraocular tumors, relatively rare malignancies. To get valid data and to study the incidence, diagnosis and treatment is extremely difficult. The most frequently occurring intraocular tumor in adults is malignant melanoma, in children it is retinoblastoma. We present the results of the nationwide group of pat...
