title: [Successful brachytherapy of a clinically unapparent ciliary body melanoma].
abstract: We report on a typical case of a ciliary body melanoma in a 59-year-old female, which was only noticed due to nonspecific unilateral vision disorders and which could only be seen in maximal mydriasis via a gonioscopic three-mirror lens. We further discuss tumor monitoring via ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and execution and prognosis of Ru-106 brachytherapy.
