| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright 2018, SLACK Incorporated. The authors present a case of a pregnant woman with uveal melanoma treated with plaque brachytherapy. Her calculated fetal radiation dose was significantly below accepted levels. The use of the authors' novel, custom-made lead chin shield further diminished irradiation of the fetus. This patient had uncomplicated treatment course, delivered a healthy child full term, achieved local tumor control, and maintained 20/25 vision at 1-year follow-up.
