INTRAVITREAL DEXAMETHASONE IMPLANT FOR RADIATION MACULOPATHY SECONDARY TO PLAQUE BRACHYTHERAPY IN CHOROIDAL MELANOMA

Abstract

Ozurdex is a useful treatment for radiation maculopathy associated to plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma, with a significant decrease in foveal thickness and a significant improvement in Horgan classification. This anatomical improvement was correlated with a moderate improvement in visual acuity.
