• ciliary body recurrence
• supraciliary effusion
• retinoblastoma

Purpose: A 2-year-old boy with syndromic bilateral retinoblastoma resulting from a ( del( 13) (q12.3q14.3)) developed a recurrent tumor measuring 2.3X2.3mm at the ora serrata 15 months following last treatment.
Methods: Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a mass invading the ciliary body 6.6 mm in diameter associated with a localized supraciliary effusion.
Results: Complete tumor regression was achieved 1 month after brachytherapy with a Conclusion: This is the first clinical demonstration of supraciliary effusion in recurrent retinoblastoma. Brachytherapy appears to be effective in the treatment of this type of recurrence.
