Methods of diagnostics of primary intraocular lymphomas associated with primary CNS lymphomas are described. This article demonstrates the value of neurophtalmological assessment before surgery in patients with intracranial space occupying lesions. Three cases with bilateral primary intraocular lymphomas are presented. Authors analyzed initial results of intraocular lymphomas treatment with intravitreal methotrexate injections.

The ocular tissue is one of the most densely populated tissues in the body with extremely small blood vessels, and vascular lesions have been reported to be a factor in vision loss and visual field defects in many ocular diseases. Currently, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted agents are the first line of treatment for intraocular vascular lesions, however, there are some cases in which they are not fully effective. Therefore, we explored pathogenic molecules other than VEGF, aiming to develop new molecular-targeted therapy.

Article Synopsis
- A 63-year-old man experienced vision loss in his left eye and blurred vision in his right eye for four months, initially diagnosed as uveitis by an ophthalmology department.
- After further evaluation, he was found to have central nervous system lymphoma, leading to systemic treatment, but his vision continued to deteriorate.
- Eventually, tests revealed intraocular lymphoma in both eyes, and he received eight intravitreal methotrexate injections, resulting in significant improvement in his visual acuity.

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) masquerading as endophthalmitis in a patient with a history of bilateral cataract surgery and COVID-19.
Observation: A 60-year-old male patient presented with diminution of vision in both the eyes. There was a history of bilateral cataract surgery done 2 months back at a gap of one week and COVID-19 infection treated with high dose systemic corticosteroids.

Background/aim: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas occur in not only the ocular adnexa, but rarely in the sclera or uvea. Histopathological confirmation contributes to a better understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment. We report a case of uveoscleral MALT lymphoma with angle-closure glaucoma.

Various space occupying lesions can arise in the orbit, ranging from developmental anomalies to malignancies, and many of the diseases occurring in children are different from the pathologies in the adult population. As the clinical presentation is frequently nonspecific, radiologic evaluation is essential for lesion detection and characterization as well as patient management. While orbital masses may in some cases involve multiple compartments, a simple compartmental approach is the key for the diagnosis on imaging studies, and MRI is the modality of choice.
