Choroidal neovascularization may be associated with radiation retinopathy and, when present, may require indocyanine green angiography for its diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Retinal nonperfusion was also present, leading the diagnosis of radiation retinopathy. The right eye developed cataract 32 months later followed by cataract surgery. [okayama.pure.elsevier.com]

Current Stan dard Workup for R adiation Maculopathy Radiation retinopathy is typically detected on ophthalmoscopic examination and confirmed with fluorescein angiography (FA) revealing retinal vascular abnormalities such as retinal hemorrhage and exudation [eyecareupdate.com]

In these cases, vascular risk factors need to be aggressively controlled, but very little workup is obtained. [neuro-ophthalmology.stanford.edu]

SUMMARY: Currently, there are no proven treatments for radiation retinopathy or maculopathy. The current treatment methods require frequent administration with variable improvement in visual acuity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is still much research to be done on the long-term efficacy of anti-VEGF treatment. MicroPulse therapy MicroPulse Laser Therapy (MPLT) is another option showing promise as a treatment for retinal vascular diseases. [healio.com]

Within the retina, the posterior pole is particularly sensitive to this pathology, 13 with grave implications for visual prognosis. [clinicalgate.com]

CONCLUSIONS: The presence of macular edema and proliferation indicates more severe retinopathy and worse visual prognosis than for eyes without macular edema and proliferation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What is the prognosis of the ocular ischemic syndrome? The prognosis of the ocular ischemic syndrome is poor. Laser panphotocoagulation of the ischemic retina may reduce neovascularization as with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. 17. [neuro-ophthalmology.stanford.edu]

Prognosis: Patients with Non- proliferative retinopathy retain a visual acuity of 6/15(20/50) for at least 4 yrs. Proliferative retinopathy has a very poor prognosis with 86% patients having visual acuity of 20/200 or worse after 6 years. [djo.org.in]

EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS Radiation Dose The key determinants in the development of radiation retinopathy are the total dose of radiation administered to the retina and the fraction size in the case of teletherapy. [medtextfree.wordpress.com]

BACKGROUND: to review the currently available therapeutic modalities for radiation retinopathy (RR), including newer investigational interventions directed towards specific aspects of the pathophysiology of this refractory complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical picture can be identical to that of diabetic retinopathy suggesting a common pathophysiologic mechanism of the damage to capillary endothelial cells, and the importance of clinical examination, anamnesis and fluorescein angiography. [ingentaconnect.com]

Staging of radiation retinopathy has been proposed. [3] Pathophysiology [ edit ] Radiation retinopathy is very similar to other vascular diseases. Diabetes and radiation primarily damage the retinal capillaries. [en.wikipedia.org]

Comprehensively updated to reflect everything you need to know regarding retinal diagnosis, treatment, development, structure, function, and pathophysiology, this monumental ophthalmology reference work equips you with expert answers to virtually any [books.google.com]

Pathophysiology Although it is not entirely clear how ionizing radiation causes radiation retinopathy, the primary site of damage appears to be the endothelial cells of the retinal and optic nerve vasculature. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Although the neural retina, [entokey.com]

Recent work has been directed towards prevention of radiation retinopathy prior to its development. This has been done with preventive scatter laser and intravitreal bevacizumab therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Finger, MD Radiation Retinopathy: Prevention and Suppression Benjamin Franklin once wrote, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” 1 Although he was referring to fire prevention, this adage also applies to radiation maculopathy. [eyecancer.com]
