Abstract

86-year-old man presented with reduced vision in his right eye corresponding to large serous detachment. Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography (EDI-OCT) showed diffusely thickened choroid. Concurrent diagnosis of small lymphocytic lymphoma diagnosed from submandibular node incited suspicion of choroidal metastasis. Successful response to chemotherapy clearly documented using EDI-OCT technology.

Keywords: CT, Computerised tomography; Choroidal lymphoma; EDI-OCT; EDI-OCT, Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography; Metastases; SLL, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma; VA, Visual Acuity.
