Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography in diagnosing radiation retinopathy after choroidal melanoma plaque brachytherapy

Radiation retinopathy is ischaemic damage to the retina and choroid following brachytherapy of intraocular tumours and head and neck tumours.It can lead to vision loss in patients treated with radiation due to choroidal melanoma.Patients following this type of treatment should be systematically monitored for tumour recurrence, metastases, and ischaemic radiation retinopathy.Follow-up should include a fundus examination and additional tests such as optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), fluorescein angiography (FA), and B-scan ultrasonography.OCTA proves to be a valuable diagnostic tool for early detection and treatment of radiation retinopathy, offering detailed vascular maps and effectively identifying radiation retinopathy features, complementing traditional methods like fluorescein angiography.

Radiation retinopathy is ischaemic damage to the retina and choroid following brachytherapy of intraocular tumours and head and neck tumours.It can lead to vision loss in patients treated with radiation due to choroidal melanoma.Patients following this type of treatment should be systematically monitored for tumour recurrence, metastases, and ischaemic radiation retinopathy.Follow-up should include a fundus examination and additional tests such as optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), fluorescein angiography (FA), and B-scan ultrasonography.OCTA proves to be a valuable diagnostic tool for early detection and treatment of radiation retinopathy, offering detailed vascular maps and effectively identifying radiation retinopathy features, complementing traditional methods like fluorescein angiography. StreszczenieRetinopatia popromienna jest niedokrwiennym uszkodzeniem siatkwki i naczyniwki w nastpstwie brachyterapii guzw wewntrzgakowych oraz guzw gowy i szyi.Moe ona prowadzi do utraty wzroku u pacjentw nawietlanych z powodu czerniaka naczyniwki.Pacjenci po przebytym leczeniu tego typu powinni by systematycznie monitorowani w kierunku wznowy nowotworu, przerzutw i niedokrwiennej retinopatii popromiennej.Kontrola powinna obejmowa badanie dna oka oraz badania dodatkowe, takie jak angiografia optycznej koherentnej tomografii, angiografia fluoresceinowa
