Abstract
We report a case of bilateral orbital metastasis from an ocular choroidal melanoma which had required enucleation eight years earlier. This uncommon case was fully documented with clinical, radiological and pathological studies. Magnetic resonance imaging was particularly contributive showing very characteristic sequences. The patient was given focal palliative cobalt radiotherapy. We compared this case with previous reports in the litterature.
