Choroidal melanoma suspect. Conservative treatment and evolution. Case report.

We present the case of a 42-year-old female who presented to our clinic for phosphenes in the left eye, occurring along with eye movement. A diagnosis of choroidal melanoma suspect was made. Due to the patient's profile, young, active woman, surgeon, and the limited therapeutic options in Romania, a conservative treatment and brachytherapy were chosen, which were successfully performed abroad.

A RARER FORM OF ANGLE-CLOSURE GLAUCOMA--DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT.

Purpose: to show how we diagnosed and treated a rarer form of angle-closure glaucoma; the pathogenic mechanism was angle crowding through thick peripheral iris roll.

Methods: we show the investigations: biomicroscopy of the fundus, tonometry, pachymetry, gonioscopy, perimetry, ultrasound biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment--that helped us to diagnose the angle-closure glaucoma and its pathogenic mechanism; we also show our choice for surgery--lens extraction--and our arguments for this choice.

Results: first postoperative day--intraocular pressure was 14 mmHg; a week postoperatively--intraocular pressure was 13 mmHg; three months postoperatively--intraocular pressure was 13 mmHg.
