Radiation-induced optic neuropathy: characteristic appearances on gadolinium-enhanced MR.
PURPOSE To assess the value of contrast-enhanced MR in the evaluation of radiation-induced optic neuropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three patients with rapid visual loss 1 1/2 to 3 years after radiation therapy to the optic nerves were studied with gadopentetate dimeglumine-enhanced MR images. All patients received over 5000 cGy, experienced rapid, permanent visual loss over several days to we...

متن کاملLinezolid-induced optic neuropathy
Many systemic antimicrobials have been implicated to cause ocular adverse effects. This is especially relevant in multidrug therapy where more than one drug can cause a similar ocular adverse effect. We describe a case of progressive loss of vision associated with linezolid therapy. A 45-year-old male patient who was on treatment with multiple second-line anti-tuberculous drugs including linezo...
متن کاملRadiation optic neuropathy after external beam radiation therapy for acromegaly.
For diagnosing radiation optic neuropathy (RON) ophthalmological and imaging data were evaluated from 63 acromegalic patients, irradiated between 1967 and 1998. Two patients developed RON: one patient in one optic nerve 10 years and another patient in both optic nerves 5 months after radiation therapy. RON is a rare complication after external beam radiation therapy for acromegaly, which can oc...
