description A 58-year old man, affected by metastatic thyroid carcinoma, experienced a progressive bilateral visual impairment. Ophthalmic examination revealed the presence of a choroidal mass with an associated exudative retinal detachment in both eyes. Twelve years before, a diagnosis of metastatic thyroid carcinoma had been established and the patient had been subject to several therapeutic procedures. In May 2007, he received a radiotherapy treatment to the left eye with an episcleral plaque and bilateral bulbar injection of bevacizumab. The patient had a rapid and stable visual acuity recovery. Twenty months after treatment, the lesion treated with radiotherapy was still stable whereas the contra-lateral lesion had evolved and determined a vitreal hemorrhage.
