Article Abstract
Background: Primary choroidal lymphoma is usually an indolent B-cell lymphoma and rarely progresses to extraocular sites. Herein, we report a case of primary choroidal lymphoma diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBL), which progressed to the brain parenchyma after 4 mo.
Case Summary: A 78-year-old man presented with diminution of vision in his right eye. A choroidal lesion suspected of metastatic lesion was observed in the right eye by ophthalmologic examination. To discover the primary tumor, imaging investigations were performed but no malignant lesion was detected. After 4 mo, the patient returned to the clinic presenting with neurological symptoms. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed an abnormal contrast-enhancing mass in the left cerebellum. A stereotactic biopsy was performed, and DLBL was confirmed. The patient received the high dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy and he achieved complete remission.
Conclusion: Primary choroidal lymphoma is usually known to have a benign clinical course without systemic involvement. We present a rare case of primary choroidal lymphoma diagnosed as DLBL that progressed to the brain parenchyma within months.

Choroidal Metastasis Presenting As Anterior and Posterior Scleritis: A Rare Manifestation of a Previously Unknown Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma.

Department of Ophthalmology, Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, Montreal, CAN.
Choroidal metastasis from occult cutaneous melanoma is rare and can masquerade as ocular inflammation. A 70‑year‑old man with sectoral anterior scleritis was found on multimodal imaging to have a solitary choroidal mass with mild periscleral fluid, prompting systemic evaluation that uncovered colonic polyps that, on histopathology, contained metastatic melanoma, a scalp primary, and widespread visceral, nodal, and intracranial metastases. Tumour cells stained HMB‑45, Melan‑A, and SOX10 positive, AE1/AE3 negative, and carried an NRAS‑Q61 mutation with wild‑type BRAF, confirming cutaneous origin.

Purpose: To compare the long-term safety of MicroShunt implantation with trabeculectomy in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: This was a 3-year observational extension of a 2-year prospective randomized trial comparing clinical outcomes of MicroShunt implantation with trabeculectomy, both augmented with mitomycin C. Adverse events (AEs), intraocular pressure (IOP), and IOP-lowering medication use were recorded 36, 48, and 60 months after initial randomization.

Background: As myopia reaches epidemic levels worldwide, its role in driving vision-threatening retinal complications is increasingly urgent. This study quantifies the burden of myopia by examining its association with key retinal diseases and how risk escalates with increasing severity.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the STARR clinical data warehouse, including all patients with ≥1 documented eye visit.
Comparative analysis of endovascular treatment methods for anterior choroidal aneurysms: single center study with 80 aneurysms.

Department of Neurosurgery, University of Health Sciences Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: Anterior choroidal artery (AChoA) aneurysms are rare and pose a significant treatment challenge due to the artery's small caliber and critical vascular territory. Endovascular treatment (EVT) has become a preferred approach, but optimal management strategies remain debated. This study compares the efficacy and safety of different EVT techniques, including primary coiling, stent-assisted coiling (SAC), and flow diversion (FD), in treating AChoA aneurysms.
