CLINICAL SCIENCES Palladium 103 (Pd) Plaque Radiation Therapy for Circumscribed Choroidal Hemangioma With Retinal Detachment
نویسنده
چکیده
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 by ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, and ultrasonography.
