The hemodynamic impairment at the LPCA in exfoliation syndrome and glaucoma supports an association between exfoliation and ischemic stress at the anterior ocular segment.

Maximal physical exercise increases OPP and blood flow at the OA without affecting blood flow at the CRA and SPCA, implying that auto-regulative mechanisms are active in both retinal and choroidal circulations.

Abstract. Brain metastases from choroidal melanoma are rare and usually have a grave prognosis. A case of successfully treated late isolated brain metastasis from choroidal melanoma is described. A 35-year-old man presented with epileptic seizures of recent origin, 9 years following enucleation for choroidal melanoma. Imaging studies revealed a lesion of the right frontal lobe that was surgically removed. Results of pathologic examination were compatible with metastatic choroidal melanoma. The patient is asymptomatic 5 years postoperatively. Late isolated brain metastases from uveal melanoma may be treatable by local resection. Close, lifelong follow-up is required to diagnose and aggressively treat metastatic disease. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging 2005;36:151-154.]
