چکیده

Abstract Purpose of the Review. In this review, we bring together recent developments in detection and management radiation retinopathy. Recent Findings Research into OCT-angiography for retinopathy has led to identification biomarkers early radiation-induced changes retinal microvasculature including focal capillary loss vascular remodeling. These are detectable after exposure but prior emergence classical clinical markers historically used diagnose The ability detect subclinical may present need redefine diagnostic criteria which ultimately impact management. Additionally, explorations prophylactic treatment following development newer anti-VEGF agents more options specialists prevent or treat vision vasculopathy from exposure. Summary Currently, injections and/or intravitreal steroids remain primary a diagnosis However, mainstay strategy have not yet been identified. future, new anatomical endpoints be identified with while therapy reduce initial retina.

AIM To evaluate the use of scatter laser photocoagulation to prevent radiation related retinopathy, maculopathy, and loss of vision. METHODS This was an interventional case series. 66 eyes with posterior choroidal melanomas treated by ophthalmic plaque radiation therapy were reported. Of these patients, 50 were selected because they developed radiation retinopathy; 45 of these were treated wi...

Radiation Retinopathy: Case report and review

BACKGROUND Ocular damage from radiation treatment is a well established phenomenon. Many factors are now known to influence the incidence of radiation retinopathy, including total dosage and daily fraction size. Patients who are diabetic, hypertensive or received previous chemotherapy are more susceptible to radiation retinopathy. CASE PRESENTATION A 55 year old male was referred from the onc...

Retinal vascular remodelling in radiation retinopathy.

A 34-year-old female developed bilateral radiation retinopathy three months after external beam radiotherapy for pituitary adenoma. The clinical symptoms, fundus abnormalities, and microvascular pathology noted on fluorescein angiography resolved spontaneously over a few months. The most dramatic aspect was the progressive improvement and partial reperfusion of the retinal capillary bed.

Commnunications Post - radiation retinopathy A fluorescence fundus angiographic study

Irradiation of the posterior segment of the eye resulting from radiotherapy either of local ocular lesions (e.g. retinoblastoma or malignant melanoma of the choroid) or of extraocular lesions of the adjacent regions (e.g. carcinoma of the antrum and nose, rodent ulcer of the face, squamous cell carcinoma of eyelids, etc.) has been known to produce delayed retinal vascular changes which develop ...

Synergism between diabetic and radiation retinopathy: case report and review.

It is suspected that radiation retinopathy is more likely to develop in an eye with preexisting diabetic retinopathy than in a normal eye. However, there is only one report of this occurring, at a radiation dose of 4500 rads. We present a woman with minimal diabetic retinopathy who had breast carcinoma which was treated with chemotherapy but metastasised to the choroid. Within nine months of ex...
