Abstract
We report a case of bilateral orbital metastasis from an ocular choroi dal melanoma which had required enucleation eight years earlier. This uncommon case was fully, documented with clinical, radiological and pa thological studies. Magnetic resonance imaging was particularly contri butive showing very characteristic sequences. The patient was given fo cal palliative cobalt radiotherapy. We compared this case with previou s reports in the literature.
