To the authors' knowledge, there is a paucity of published accounts of management of radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION) by optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) in the conventional medical literature. With higher doses of radiation being given by using conformal techniques, more radiation-induced optic neuritis and neuropathy will be identified. We report here the successful use of ONSF to restore vision to three consecutive patients with pending anterior RION, and the importance of early identification and intervention in these potentially reversible cases.
据作者所知,传统医学文献中关于视神经鞘开窗术(ONSF)治疗放射性视神经病变(RION)的已发表报道很少。随着采用适形技术给予更高剂量的辐射,将会发现更多的放射性视神经炎和神经病变。我们在此报告连续3例即将发生前部RION的患者成功采用ONSF恢复视力,以及在这些潜在可逆转病例中早期识别和干预的重要性。
