Abstract

Melanoma of the choroid is the most frequent primary intra-ocular malignancy whereas a varix of the vortex vein ampulla is a benign, rare and asymptomatic condition requiring no treatment. A varix of the vortex vein ampulla is usually found acci-dentally and can easily be mistaken for a choroidal melanoma, a naevus or a haemorrhage. We present a case of a varix of the vortex vein ampulla, which can be distinguished from other more serious conditions by using simple clinical methods.

Translated title of the contributionA varix of the vortex vein ampulla is a rare differential diagnosis of malignant melanoma of the choroid.
