Primary malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix is a rare disease with poor prognosis and high recurrence rate. We used Rigvir® as adjuvant therapy for a stage IVA patient. Tolerability, overall and progression‐free survival are good.

SummaryA 50-year-old female was diagnosed with significant peripapillary choroidal neovascularization (PCNV) in the left eye (LE). 12 months after a close follow-up, 4 intravitreal injections with bevacizumab and retinal laser photocoagulation were performed to limit the distribution of the lesion. A year after the primary diagnosis in the LE, a tiny PCNV also developed in the right eye (RE). Simultaneous activity was additionally observed in both peripapillary lesions at the time. At the last follow-up, after 43 months, the best corrected visual acuity in the RE was 0.8, but in the LE it was only 0.2. In total, the LE received 6 intravitreal injections with bevacizumab, while the RE received 3 injections.The case report concludes that early diagnosis and intervention helps maintain visual acuity better in the cases of a small lesion than in developed significant PCNV with intense activity characterised with oedema, hard exudates and haemorrhages.

The present case report discusses about a male patient with closed-globe traumatic cataract and isolated posterior capsule rupture. There are limited studies reporting about such type of complication. The management with phacoemulsification and combined pars plana vitrectomy with intraocular lens reverse optic capture was performed.
