A 37-year-old man with radiation-induced endophthalmitis after proton-beam radiotherapy for choroidal melanoma of the right eye. The patient underwent secondary enucleation three years after radiotherapy because of drug-resistant neovascular glaucoma and painful eye, associated with local recurrence. a Coronal T2-weighted FLAIR (from brain MRI scan) and b axial fat-suppressed T1-weighted images show increased signal intensity of the vitreous body of the right eye (white asterisks) due to vitreous inflammation with protein leakage; note the difference with the physiological water-like signal intensity of the contralateral eye. Along the superior aspect of the right globe, a dome-shaped intraocular mass is detectable, consistent with local recurrence of the choroidal melanoma (white arrow in a). On (c) coronal contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted image, the mass demonstrates enhancement (white arrow)
