  • Choroidal Melanoma (USG)

    Jul 5 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    This B-mode transverse ultrasound scan reveals a mushroom-shaped choroidal tumor in the inferior nasal quadrant adjacent to the optic nerve head. The lesion appears solid with homogeneous internal reflectivity and is associated with minimal surrounding subretinal fluid and scleral excavation. It measures 6.54 mm in height × 7.52 mm in base diameter (transverse view) and extends 9.52 mm longitudinally. The vitreous contains abundant punctate opacities consistent with pigment dispersion. The retina and choroid remain attached elsewhere.

  • VKH Pseudotumor – Chronic Subretinal Fibrosis

    May 11 2025 by Felipe Murati

    Ultra-widefield fundus image from a 36-year-old woman with chronic VKH syndrome showing a pseudotumor-like subretinal fibrotic lesion in the right eye. The lesion developed after multiple relapses and remained stable over a 1-year follow-up with immunosuppressive treatment including prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, and adalimumab. No active choroiditis or exudative detachment was observed. Multimodal imaging was essential for disease monitoring.
