Long-term results of low-dose proton beam therapy for circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas.
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term efficacy and outcome of low-dose proton beam irradiation in the treatment of symptomatic circumscribed choroidal hemangioma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective review of 71 patients with symptomatic circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas treated by proton beam irradiation between September 1994 and October 2002 using a total dose of 20 Cobalt Gray Equivalent. ...
متن کاملCLINICAL SCIENCES Palladium 103 (Pd) Plaque Radiation Therapy for Circumscribed Choroidal Hemangioma With Retinal Detachment
Methods: One course of Pd ophthalmic plaque radiotherapy was used in each of 5 patients with circumscribed choroidal hemangioma who had progressive loss of vision due to subretinal exudation. A mean apex dose of 2900 cGy (2900 rad) was delivered. Functional tests of outcome included best-corrected visual acuity. Anatomic results included changes in tumor height and subretinal fluid documented b...
متن کاملA case report and brief review of the literature of an unusual vascular malformation: linear verrucous hemangioma
Verrucous hemangiomas (VH) are uncommon, congenital vascular malformations of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues that spare the deeper subfacial structures. VH usually presents at birth and slowly grows with age. It usually presents as hyperkeratotic, scattered, bluish-red plaques or nodules of various sizes. Although the lesions mostly have a linear pattern, serpiginous and reticulat...
متن کاملChoroidal osteoma.
Choroidal osteomas are benign, juxtapapillary, choroidal tumors that mandate no treatment. They occur predominantly in young (median age, 20 years) females (90%). While ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography reveal suggestive ophthalmic findings, echography, plain radiography, and especially computed tomography (CT) are important in establishing the correct diagnosis. These lesions may be c...
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...
