Intraocular pressure elevation during radioactive plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma.
children (aged 6-16 years). An increase in IOP of 15 mm Hg or more was measured 11 patients (41%)—4 of 5 children and 7 of 22 adults. An increase of 20 mm Hg or more was seen in 2 of 5 children and 3 of 22 adults. The peak IOP was 30 mm Hg or higher in 3 of 5 children and 4 of 22 adults. All IOP increases responded to difluprednate discontinuation or addition of glaucoma medications. No patient...

متن کاملAn interactive treatment planning system for ophthalmic plaque radiotherapy.
Brachytherapy using removable episcleral plaques containing sealed radioisotope sources is being studied as an alternative to enucleation in the treatment of choroidal melanoma and other tumors of the eye. Encouraging early results have been reported, but late complications which lead to loss of vision continue to be a problem. A randomized national study, the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Stud...
