Description |
Radiation Necrosis of the CNS at times involves the visual pathways, causing irreversible blindness. Standard treatment in the Ophthalmological literature includes treatment with IV Corticosteroids, Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment, and sometimes anticoagulation. Even with these treatments, the visual outcome is generally poor. The Oncologic Literature continues to support the consideration of treatment with Bevacizumab to reverse the effect of the radiation damage. |
