Aim: The aim is to assess the BRAF gene mutations in patients with posterior uveal melanoma. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of the group of patients with malignant melanoma of the uvea, who were indicated to enucleation between 1.1 2015 to 1.3.2016. We analyzed stage of uveal melanoma, volume, cell type and BRAF gene mutations. Results: In clinical study of 20 patients after enucleat...

Introduction: Amniotic membrane is the innermost part of the fetal and packaging for its exceptional qualities likes to be used in treating many ocular pathologies. Amniotic membrane has improved the ability to treat ocular surface disease. It has unique features like support conjunctival and corneal epithelialization. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of group patients who underwent am...

Objective: The authors evaluate a group of patients with malignant uveal melanoma treated with stereotactic radiosurgery in the year. 2009–2011 on a linear accelerator LINAC. Material and methods: In 2009–2011 were followed 40 patients with malignant melanoma of the uvea in stage T2 and T3 treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (LINAC), the therapeutic dose of 35,0 Gy TD, TD max 42,0 Gy. We evalua...

Aim: Diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the eye is extremely difficul; surgical treatment in advanced stages, when the tumor grows in the orbit, leads to extensive radical surgery of the face. The extent and nature of surgical procedures depends on the nature of the tumor process, in advanced stages is indicated mutilating surgery – exenteration of the orbit. Exenteration of the orbit due to the...

Aim: Primary treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the lower eyelid and the inner corner is essentially surgical, but advanced lesions require extensive surgical interventions. In some cases it is necessary to continue with the mutilating surgery - exenteration of the orbit. In this work we evaluate the indications of radical solutions in patients with basal cell carcinoma invading the orbit and th...
