Abstract
- PURPOSE
To evaluate the effects of transpupillary thermotherapy(TTT) for several intraocular tumor. METHODS: The 5 intraocular tumors (2 capillary hemangioma, 1 metastatic tumor, 1 retinal angioma, 1 melanocytoma) were treated with transpupillary thermotherapy. We compared preoperative visual acuity, size, fundus finding, ultrasonogram to postoperative data. RESULTS: The one capillary hemangioma and metastatic tumor were improved in fundus finding. The other tumors were not improved. The visual acuity of patient with metastatic tumor was improved from F.C/30cm to 0.15. CONCLUSIONS: Transpupillary thermotherapy was effective tool for intraocular tumors. We may need the guideline for treatment of intraocular tumor by using transpupillary thermotherapy.
