Tumor Volumes in Choroidal Melanoma: Agreement Between Three-Dimensional Ultrasound and Two Mathematical Models.

Purpose: To determine the degree of agreement between 2 mathematical models and 3-dimensional ultrasonography (3DUS) in estimating choroidal melanoma tumor volumes.

Design: Reliability analysis.

Methods: Tumor measurements estimated by 2 mathematical models (designated Formula 1 and Formula 2) were compared to those obtained by 3DUS in 45 consecutive patients with primary choroidal melanoma to determine the percentage agreement between the models and 3DUS.

Autofluorescence and axial length as prognostic factors for outcomes of macular hole retinal detachment surgery in high myopia.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of fundus autofluorescence and axial length as prognostic factors for surgical outcome of macular hole retinal detachment in high myopic patients.

Methods: This is a retrospective, interventional, nonrandomized study. Patients were treated with posterior vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and silicone oil tamponade.

Endoresection versus iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy for the treatment of choroidal melanoma.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of pars plana vitrectomy endoresection with iodine-125 brachytherapy in the treatment of choroidal melanoma.

Design: A nested case-control study (1:2) from a surgical cohort.

Methods: The study comprised 81 choroidal melanoma patients treated with either endoresection or iodine-125 brachytherapy.
