Abstract:In our series, we could not demonstrate an additional benefit of systemic steroids when combined with retrobulbar irradiation. Up to sixteen years after treatment, no treatment-related adverse reaction was seen. We found a remarkable improvement in ocular motility. This holds even more true in comparison to the natural course of the condition. Retrobulbar irradiation seems to shorten the duration of the disease, thus allowing earlier performance of eventual rehabilitative surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
