Q

Types of radiation for the eye

A

Iodine plaque Bachytherapy- Prob will lose vision/damage ON. More common. ( to save vision, could try using oil to block radiation to the rest of the eye)

Gamma knife radiotherapy- Focused through the skin. No incisions. Kills abnormal cells.

Q

3 patterns of retinoblastoma growth

A
  1. Endophytic- tumor grows from the retina into the vitreous and causes seeding.
  2. Exophytic- tumor expands into sub retinal space.
  3. Diffuse infiltrating

Q

Tx of retinoblastoma

A

Enucleation to save a life
To save an eye, must do local chemo + focal consolidation therapy or external beam radiation. Chemo alone is not enough

Focal consolidation therapy options- Cryo, laser, plaque.

External beam radiation should be avoided if less than 1 year old.

Q

COMS Trials (Collab ocular melanoma study group)

A

Found characteristics associated with growth: Lack of drusen, absence of RPE changes, thickness changes, lipofuscin.

Enucleation vs radiotherapy + enucleation had no difference in survival.

17
Q

Retinoblastoma appearance

A 
Leukocoria 
Strab 
Cellulitis like appearance 
White/pinkk
Associated serous RD
Calcific/cottage cheese/white
18
Q

retinocytoma appearance

A

Similar presentation to successfully treated retinoblastoma, common in kids.

Relatively benign but 4% progress to retinoblastoma.

Clear retinal mass.

19
Q

What closely resembles that of a successfully treated retinoblastoma

A

Retinocytoma (clear retinal mass)

20
Q

Inheritance pattern of retinocytoma

A

Autosomal Dominant, usually caucasian pts.

21
Q

How to dx retinocytoma with IVFA

A

No increase in vascularization of lesion

22
Q

Colors that metastatic uveal carcinoma ca be

A

yellow (96%)
Orange (3%)
Brown-gray (3%)

23
Q

Metastatic uveal carcinoma is secondary to where in females and males

A

Breast in females
Lung in males

In 34%, choroidal metastasis precedes systemic dx of cancer

24

Lymphoproliferative tumors. What is it?

A

Intraocular infiltration of malignant lymphoid cells. Usually associated with systemic lymphoma.

A

Vitreoretinal- White, diffuse retinal infiltrates. Vitritis, anterior uveitis, KP’s, optic neuropathy

Uveal- Creamy white yellow. Single or multiple lesions.

30

Radiation retinopathy can develop when

A

Anywhere from 1 month-15 years following radiation. Most commonly 6 months- 3 years.

31
