Posterior ocular abnormalities after irradiation for retinoblastoma: a histopathological study.
Radiation-induced ocular lesions in the posterior eye and orbit were investigated in 33 surgical specimens of patients with retinoblastoma. The eyes were obtained from children 7 months to 6 years of age. Seventeen eyes were irradiated; 16 eyes had not received irradiation and served as controls. The majority of the irradiated eyes were treated with 6000 rads of external beam radiation. They we...
متن کاملVestibulo-Ocular Reflex Abnormalities in Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Pilot Study
Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), involving the semicircular canals, is one of the most common diseases of the inner ear. The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a new test that examines the function of the canals. This study aimed to investigate the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain, gain asymmetry and saccades after stimulating all six canals in patients definitively d...
متن کاملOcular complications after therapeutic irradiation.
At one time radiotherapy had a sinister reputation amongst ophthalmologists because of the frequent and often disastrous sequelae of ocular irradiation; cataract was common, the eyelids and the eye-ball sometimes underwent necrosis, and very occasionally malignant changes developed in irradiated tissues. Over the years increasing knowledge of the effects of radiation, refinements in techniques ...
متن کاملOcular motility changes after subtenon carboplatin chemotherapy for retinoblastoma.
BACKGROUND Focal subtenon carboplatin injections have recently been used as a presumably toxicity-free adjunct to systemic chemotherapy for intraocular retinoblastoma. OBJECTIVE To report our clinical experience with abnormal ocular motility in patients treated with subtenon carboplatin chemotherapy. METHODS We noted abnormal ocular motility in 10 consecutive patients with retinoblastoma wh...
متن کاملExperimental posterior perforating ocular injury: a controlled study of the gross effects of localised gamma irradiation.
A pilot study on the effect of localised irradiation applied to the site of a standard perforating injury in the rabbit eye, showed that gamma rays limited the formation of post-traumatic vitreoretinal membranes. A controlled study was therefore undertaken to confirm this observation. Twenty-four pairs of rabbits underwent a standard perforating injury in the right eye. One rabbit of each pair ...
