Zusammenfassung
It is a study of 30 choroidal metastatic lesions from breast carcinoma in 13 eyes of 8 patients (7 women and 1 man). In one of the cases this was the way of the primary tumor to start. We describe the ophthalmoscopic angiographic and echographic characteristics of the lesions, and we also analyze their size and distribution. The carotid artery takes the metastatic emboli to the ophthalmic artery, or to the brain parenchymal. Considering that the scanner resolution on the diagnosis of brain metastases is about 4 mm., and most of the described choroidallesions (19/30: 63.3%) have a size less than 3 mm., we think that the ophthalmoscopic study (fast, innocuous, and not expensive) is recommendable in the study of patients with breast carcinoma.
