This report discusses a case of radiotherapy-induced retinopathy following treatment of squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment of the carcinoma with external beam radiotherapy to the supraorbital region and base of the skull was followed by the onset of retinopathy. The sensory retina, as well as other central nervous system tissues, is highly resistant to radiation damage; however, the retinal vasculature is extremely sensitive to radiation damage, producing a retinopathy that is characteristic of other vascular occlusive diseases. Management is discussed.
本报告讨论了一例鳞状细胞癌治疗后发生的放射性视网膜病变。对眶上区域和颅底进行外照射放疗治疗该癌症后，出现了视网膜病变。感觉视网膜以及其他中枢神经系统组织对辐射损伤具有高度抗性；然而，视网膜血管对辐射损伤极为敏感，会产生一种具有其他血管闭塞性疾病特征的视网膜病变。文中讨论了其治疗方法。
