Introduction: Choroidal metastases from systemic malignancies are the most common intraocular malignancies in adults. External beam radiation (EBR) has historically been first-line therapy for metastatic tumors to the choroid. However, good responses have been described with newer targeted biologics.

- The study aimed to evaluate how accurately B-scan ultrasonography detects vitreoretinal issues after open-globe injury (OGI) repair, using findings from later surgeries as a reference.
- Researchers analyzed 62 eyes from 61 patients at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics over a five-year period, focusing on various vitreoretinal conditions like vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment.
- Results showed that while B-scan was good at identifying vitreous hemorrhage, it had significant limitations in diagnosing other issues, indicating that it should not be solely relied upon for detecting serious pathologies.
Introduction: The systemic HIF-2 alpha inhibitor, belzutifan, has been approved for use in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL)-associated renal cell carcinoma, central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastomas, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. This drug has also shown promise in controlling VHL retinal hemangioblastomas (RHs), but little work has been published on the use of the drug in this setting.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients with VHL-associated RHs followed by the retina service at our institution who were treated with systemic belzutifan.
Pseudo-pigmented choroidal schwannoma with extraocular extension in an elderly patient.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
December 2024
Purpose: To describe a rare case of clinically pigmented choroidal schwannoma with extraocular extension in an elderly patient.
Observations: We report a case of a 79-year-old Black male who presented with a clinically pigmented, juxtapapillary choroidal tumor with concern for extraocular extension on standardized ocular echography. The lesion was concerning for choroidal melanoma with extraocular extension.
To present a case with signs suggestive of a retinal vasoproliferative tumor. A case report was evaluated and a surgical video presented. A 61-year-old White man presented with an amelanotic retinal tumor associated with exudation, retinal edema, and overlying telangiectatic vessels, suggestive of a retinal vasoproliferative tumor.
