Was kann die Transpupilläre Thermotherapie (TTT) in der Behandlung von flachen posterioren Aderhautmelanomen leisten? - Eine systematische Literaturübersicht

Abstract

The TTT is a minimal invasive procedure for the treatment of flat choroidal melanomas of the posterior pole which is capable of achieving a good local tumor control. Studies with more patients and longer follow-up will demonstrate if TTT is also beneficial in the longterm management of choroidal melanomas.

Choriovitreal neovascularization following transpupillary thermotherapy for choroidal melanoma

“…[5][6][7][8] Retinal neovascularization, as reported in the literature, results from occlusion of retinal vessels leading to ischaemia of the involved area. In our case, there was no retinal vascular occlusion and therefore no retinal neovascularization but choroidal neovascularization that occurred over the tumour suggesting direct damage to Bruch's membrane.…”
