DiscussionIn this case of ciliochoroidal effusion, invasion of lymphoma cells into the deep choroid and subconjunctiva was demonstrated histopathologically. Ocular imaging revealed that the choroid was diffusely enhanced by gadolinium, but the sclera was slightly thin. Indocyanine green angiography revealed no abnormality of mid-sized to large vessels of the choroid. These findings suggest that the uveal effusion was caused by a mechanical circulation disorder resulting from lymphoma cell invasion into the deep layer of choroidal veins, including the ampullae of vortex veins, and, further upstream, into the intrascleral vortex veins. Our patient showed markedly high IOP with a closed angle in the affected eye. Patients with secondary UES can develop narrow-angle glaucoma, 3, 4 which is not associated with primary UES. 1 The mechanism underlying the increased IOP is believed to be a closed angle caused by anterior rotation of the ciliary body as a result of ciliochoroidal effusion. Indeed, uveal effusion completely resolved, IOP normalized, and the anterior chamber deepened with an opened angle after chemotherapy, indicating that choroidal invasion of malignant lymphoma can lead to UES.
