PURPOSE: To describe the risk factors for the development of corneoscleral necrosis (CSN) and its management in patients with primary choroidal or ciliochoroidal melanoma who underwent episcleral Au-198 brachytherapy.
METHODS: Clinical records of patients with symptoms of dry eye, foreign body sensation, pain, and evidence of CSN after Au-198 brachytherapy for uveal melanoma treated over a 22-year period were reviewed retrospectively. Risk factors for the development of CSN were identified and various methods of management were evaluated. The data were analyzed using multivariant analysis. A P < 0.05 was taken as a level of statistical significance.
RESULTS: Of the 202 eyes of 202 patients treated with Au-198 radioactive plaque, 15 (7.4%) patients with symptomatic complaints of dry eye and pain showed evidence of CSN. First signs were noted as early as 1 month to as late as 5 years (median time 5 months) after the treatment. Risk factors for the development of CSN included tumor thickness greater than 6 mm and ciliary body involvement (P < 0.05). Associated risk factor included intraocular pressure greater than 21 mmHg. Four patients required conservative management, 11 patients required scleral patch and/or conjunctival flaps, and 6 eyes eventually required enucleation. Eyes which developed CSN were more likely to undergo enucleation compared with eyes having no evidence of CSN (P < 0.05). None of the eyes with CSN, which required enucleation because of the failed treatment, had histopathologic evidence of recurrent tumor or tumor invading sclera.
CONCLUSION: Corneoscleral necrosis may occur soon or several years after Au-198 brachytherapy for uveal melanoma. Risk factors for CSN include tumor thickness greater than 6 mm, ciliary body involvement, and intraocular pressure >21 mmHg. Closer follow-up, early recognition, and timely intervention may avert serious consequences.
