Effects and recurrence of proton beam therapy for retinal detachment due to choroidal hemangioma in Sturge–Weber syndrome patients: A case report
Proton beam therapy appears to be an effective treatment modality for retinal detachment associated with choroidal hemangioma in Sturge-Weber syndrome. However, an increase in hemangioma thickness after initial response signals a risk of recurrence; therefore, regular optical coherence tomography and B-mode ophthalmic ultrasound examinations are essential for early detection and timely intervention.
