title: [Thyroid carcinoma metastases in choroid membrane of a 9 year old girl].
abstract: Report on a case of a total serous retinal detachment which manifested itself by inflammation and rise in tension. It was associated with an undefinable tumour of the posterior portion of the eye which had become visible after puncture of the subretinal fluid. Fluorescein angiography revealed a pattern similar to Hippel-Lindau's disease, although the clinical course was unusual. Histologic examination of a lump detected on the neck proved to be a metastatic thyroid carcinoma. This diagnosis could be confirmed after enucleation. The literature shows that ocular involvement in metastatic thyroid carcinoma seems to be extremely rare.
