چکیده
purpose: to evaluate the effect of radiation with ruthenium-106 (ru-106) plaques in the control of retinal vasoproliferative tumors methods: this study is a retrospective, interventional nonrandomized case series. seven eyes of seven patients (four males and three females) with retinal vasoproliferative tumors were enrolled. the eyes were treated by ru-106 plaques with mean apex dose of 39 gy (range, 38-43 gy) in low-dose (ld) group (four cases) and 79 gy (range, 76-81 gy) in high-dose (hd) group (three cases). mean (±sd) follow-up duration was 18 (±8) months (range, six to 31 months) main outcome measures were tumor thickness reduction and clinical and visual improvement. results: mean (±sd) preoperative logmar visual acuity improved from 0.92 (±0.49) to 0.85 (±0.71) at the last follow-up (p=0.50). significant exudative retinal detachments, which were presented before brachytherapy in five patients (71.4%), completely reabsorbed following brachytherapy. radiation retinopathy was seen in three patients during the follow-up period. tractional rhegmatogenous retinal detachment developed in one patient of ld group which was managed with pars plana vitrectomy and silicon oil tamponade. conclusion: brachytherapy with high-dose ru-106 plaques is an effective treatment modality for retinal vasoproliferative tumors in terms of functional and anatomic results. further investigations with enough sample sizes are suggested to identify the optimal apex dose. iranian journal of ophthalmology 200921(2):31-35 © 2009 by the iranian society of ophthalmology

متن کاملRetinal vasoproliferative tumors: surgical management and histological findings.
Vascular masses occurring in the peripheral retina have been described extensively in the literature. Many terms, including "presumed acquired hemangiomas," "hemangioma-like," "angiomatous masses," "angioma-like," "peripheral retinal telangiectasis," and "vasoproliferative tumors," have been suggested that reflect the lack of the known histological features and the potentially variable causes. ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical features of primary vs secondary retinal vasoproliferative tumors (VPTs). METHODS Retrospective case series of 334 tumors in 295 eyes of 275 patients. RESULTS Of 275 patients with VPT, 41% (n = 113) were male and 59% (n = 162) were female, with a mean age of 44 years at presentation.

متن کاملRuthenium-106 Plaque Therapy for Diffuse Choroidal Hemangioma in Sturge-Weber Syndrome
Diffuse choroidal hemangiomas associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) are classically treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBR), but there are a few reports usually of single cases indicating the usefulness of plaque therapy. We present our observations on two cases of diffuse choroidal hemangiomas with exudative retinal detachment associated with SWS treated with Ruthenium-106 plaque t...
متن کاملRadiation related complications after ruthenium plaque radiotherapy of uveal melanoma.
AIMS/BACKGROUND To analyse radiation related complications and secondary enucleation after irradiation of malignant uveal melanoma with ruthenium-106 plaques. METHODS A series of 100 consecutive eyes irradiated in 1981-91 was analysed using the life table method and the Cox proportional hazards model. The median apical and scleral tumour dose was 100 Gy (range 15-200 Gy) and 1000 Gy (range 20...
