Figure 1
Figure 1. Case 1
Fundus photography (A), fluorescein angiography (B) and indocyanine green angiography (C) showing the mushroom-shaped choroidal melanoma. Note the characteristic “double circulation” pattern of the choroidal melanoma consisting of normal retinal vessels overlying the internal circulation within the lesion. Fundus autofluorescence (D), fluorescein angiography (E) and indocyanine green angiography (F) showing the lesion 1y after PBT with atrophy of the surrounding retina and choroid. Fluorescein angiography (G) and indocyanine green angiography (H) showing radiation retinopathy involving the macular region, capillary leakage and retinal capillary dropout with foveal avascular zone enlargement.

Figure 2. IOP changes of the treated patients during the 6-months follow-up period
The IOP spike in Case 2 was found when intraocular hemorrhage occurred, with subsequent spontaneous resolution and IOP reduction.
Figure 3
Figure 3. Case 2
Fundus photography (A) showing radiation retinopathy with scattered dot and blot retinal hemorrhages in the temporal macular region. Anterior segment photography (B) showing the hyphema occurred 1wk after UCP procedure.
Figure 4
Figure 4. Case 3
Fundus photography (A) showing the choroidal melanoma in the inferotemporal region with surrounding retinal exudation. B-scan ultrasonography (B) showing the solid hyperechoic choroidal mass protruding in the vitreous chamber.
