A 58-year-old man with neovascular glaucoma after proton-beam radiotherapy for choroidal melanoma of the right eye. The same patient as in Fig. 6. a Axial and (b) sagittal contrast-enhanced fat-supressed T1-weighted images display marked enhancement of the ciliary body and the anterior portion of the choroid (white arrows), a finding consistent with anterior segment neovascularization leading to neovascular glaucoma. Note the residual irradiated tumor along the posterior aspect of the globe (white arrowhead in b). Small hypointense artefacts produced by the tantalum clips are appreciable along the posterior edge of the sclera (white dotted arrows in a). c Histological examination showing a florid angiogenic process surrounding a ciliary body (H&E, original magnification 150×). d At higher magnification, angiogenesis consisting of numerous congested end ectatic vessels is well documented (H&E, original magnification 400×)
