[Cystoid macular oedema over a malignant melanoma of the choroid. Clinic, fluorescencangiography and histopathologic findings (author's transl)].

A case of cystoid macular oedema lying over a malignant melanoma of the choroid is reported. A direct correlation between the histopathological findings and the fluorescencangiographic picture is shown. The fluorescencangiography was taken 14 days before enucleation and showed the typical structure of a cystoid maculaoedema. The pathogenesis of the accumulation of the fluid within the layers of the Henle' fibres and the inner nuclear layer are discussed.
