| Summary: |
The aim of this study
is to present the OCT images of selected cases of
choroidal and retinal tumors.
Case presentation – 5 patients: 4 males, 1 female,
aged 16-81 years. 2 cases were diagnosed with choroidal
nevus, 1 – with choroidal melanoma, 2 other – with
astrocytoma. In all cases the entire ophthalmic
examination, B-scan ultrasonography and OCT were
performed (Stratus OCT 3000, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin,
CA, USA). In selected cases the fluorescein and/or
indocyanine green angiography were also performed.
Conclusions – OCT is a useful technique in the
diagnosis and monitoring of proliferative choroidal
lesions, however, due to its technical limitations it
should always be concerned as a complementary
examination. OCT allows for a structural analysis of
overlying retina and in some cases defines precisely the
exact cause of visual loss. |
