Abstract
Case report

A 59-year-old male with choroidal melanoma in the left eye who underwent plaque brachytherapy (iodine 125). One week after surgery, a massive exudation with retinal detachment and lipid exudation was observed. Progress was assessed with funduscopy and ultrasound every month. Nine months after surgery transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) was performed over the fluid-free irradiated residual tumor. Three months after this procedure, new retinal breaks appeared in the treated area, with vitreous seeding that required enucleation.

Discussion

Combined treatment with plaque brachytherapy and TTT can involve severe complications that may require enucleation of the involved eye.

Resumen
Caso clínico

Varón de 59 años con melanoma coroideo en ojo izquierdo. Se realiza tratamiento con braquiterapia mediante placa (iodo-125), apareciendo exudación masiva, desprendimiento de retina y grandes placas de depósitos lipídicos una semana después. Se monitoriza la evolución mediante funduscopia y ecografía mensualmente y una vez reabsorbido el fluido subretiniano se realiza termoterapia transpupilar (TTT) de la masa tumoral irradiada, 9 meses tras la intervención. Tres meses después se producen roturas retinianas con siembra vítrea que hacen necesaria la enucleación.

Discusión

La terapia combinada con placas de braquiterapia y TTT puede asociar complicaciones severas que requieran la enucleación.
