Seizure
- Symptoms may include headache and weakness on one side, seizures, personality changes, and visual problems. Sometimes the doctor will choose to watch the tumor for a time.[webmd.com]
Workup
- The workup of suspected metastatic scirrhous breast cancer to the orbit includes a complete history and physical, imaging of the orbit (CT or MRI), mammogram, orbital mass biopsy and body imaging for metastatic disease.[webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
- Clinical Testing and Workup An eye doctor may suspect ocular melanoma following a routine eye exam. Individuals may visit an eye doctor because of problems with vision or soreness in one eye.[rarediseases.org]
Treatment
- We did not analyse the associations between patient and prescriber characteristics, and treatment selection and subsequent clinical outcomes of treatments.[bmjopen.bmj.com]
- Today, modern radiation treatment modalities, as proton therapy, are likely to be chosen, for providing superior accuracy in dose delivery, helping to spare healthy tissue and the sensible optic nerves.[en.wikipedia.org]
- We are praying hard that when he goes back they will be able to laser out the neoplasm and start treatment to still be able to save his natural eye. If not he will loose his natural eye within the next month.[youcaring.com]

Prognosis
- Prognosis The prognosis for all forms of nevi tends to be good with iris nevi showing enlargement in less than 5% of cases (Territo et al., 1988).[atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
- . • Ultrasound may be necessary • Treatment – enucleation, local resection, radiotherapy • Prognosis is poor as presentation is usually late 6.[slideshare.net]
- Stages and Outlook (Prognosis) After a cancer diagnosis, staging provides important information about the extent of cancer in the body and anticipated response to treatment.[cancer.org]
- Prognosis The outlook depends on the size of the tumor when it's diagnosed. The prognosis is better if the cancer is contained within the eye and has not spread to other parts of the body.[drugs.com]
- Melanoma Malignant tumor often detected when small size so prognosis is usually favorable. Nevus Benign tumor that classically remains stable. Can lead to reduced visual acuity. Can transform into melanoma.[isoo.org]
